Front crossmember/axle and wishbones
Hi, anyone got a reasonable front crossmember/axle and wishbones (both but mainly looking for bottom ones).
|
I have a rusty 144 one at my place (164 part numbers different so you need to specify). Snag - its on the south coast, couldn't be much further from you! Am going there today so can maybe photograph if still interested

Just bumping this thread if anyone out there with front crosssmember and wishbones? Would be good to replace mine in the winter.

I'm a bit rusty on these, but I think the upper wishbones are available new (with new balljoints), so that's how I'd tackle that. I think lowers aren't.
Sadly no parts to sell, but I thought the info would be useful. cheers James |
The crossmembers are a big rust issue and hard to find a good one.
Lower wishbones are also a problem and are now discontinued There was a company in London who used to make heavy duty alloy ones for endurance rally but can not remember who they were. I got to know they as they were installing LPG. |
Source a decent crossmember.
Amazon cars are getting lower wishbones made but will be £240 each. I will make ones or repair mine if I have to. |

Just check that the ones you get have the ball-joints tack-welded into them. My friend bought some new ones 2-3 years ago, and a ball-joint popped out after 6 months or so. The replacement had the ball-joint secured with a tack.
