Its just a piece of metal. The wishbone bushes have probably failed.

yeah dont bother getting the bushes as they are normally a pain to change, just get the wishbone

you need new wishbones every year on a festa uttershite

wishbones are a poo design on them, needed every year if you use it hard but normally last at least 2 years.

The riveted on balljoints can be changed despite what people say, but half the time its only an extra 2/3 quid for a full wishbone!
