Failed :'(

Both front wishbones excessive movement.

Annoying really as they have only been on the car just over a year and done less than 2500 miles.

Tester also said one of the hubs (might) be worn, anyone got a good used / new one suitable for 24v?

:( Sorry to hear of your problems Tenfut.

I wish you all the luck in getting your problems sorted.

Wishbones have been covered on this site quite extensively, including sourcing them, so have a search about.

Best regards

Mike

Sorry to hear of your problems. I had the same problem a few years ago and just ended-up going to my local Ford Dealer and putting £108 in his hand for the hub. Then getting bearings for it. Worth while I thought, and it's still going very well.

Thanks Peter

I haven't tried but I very much doubt they will still be available from Mr Ford

Can anyone tell me if the front hubs are the same throughout the range or are they different on the 24v?

TIA
