Title: Front suspension bushes
Post by Chieftain on Jul 18^th, 2011, 11:02am

garage tells me these are not available as individual items have to buy new arms, other tell me they are, who is correct? I know the rear can be purchased individually but front.

Looks to me as if the garage you went to is a rip off merchant

just contacted the garage, and they were not to impressed that the bushes are available as items, have since found out they do like to bump prices up, all that is against me now is time. Any suggestions for the high CO reading
This year fast idel 0.65%
2nd fast idle 0.72%

last year fast idel 0.01% 2nd idle 0.04%

Contacted them and they seem to be in doubt, calling me back if they can find any, told me easiest way was to buy the wishbone. now waiting for a call.

Be very careful to check with any supplier that the wishbones are for the Scorpio '95-> model - there seems to be a lot of confusion and many will supply the part for a Mk3 Granada in error.
I got a brand new pair from a company in Germany made by Quinton Hazell - could not find anyone in the UK who could supply them even though a lot of motor factors had the part listed in QH & FAI catalogues - I was told that they had tried ordering the part but had not been able to get it.
