Replacing Wishbone yes or no?

[rosssei]

Hi guys,

fitting a powerflex polybush kit to the front of the clio and was wondering is it worth me replacing the front wishbones while doing this process?

Thanks

Ross

and if so will any clio wishbone fit?

So we are talking a 197 here?

No need to replace the wishbone itself (it's just a solid peice of metal), i'd be 90% sure that 197 wishbones are unique to 197s, may be worth changing the ball joint but IMO you'd be wasting your cash unless it's already damaged.

Be warned the bushes can be a REAL b*****d to press in/press out (or drift in with a hammer if you can...)

its for a ph1 172!

there are some different wishbones going round .. found out this when i went to change mine.

In the end i only changed the lower balljoint attached to this one as the wishbone itself attached to subframe had no play in it..
