hi sibbers. i have replaced this bush but the plot thickens even more. check out the pics. ive never seen a bolt so sloppy in a bush. the old bush was identical in hole sizes. and to be fair there was very little play when i put the old bush in the vice and give it a wiggle.

i was looking at the wrong bush. that bush connects from bottom of inner wing to subframe wishbone mounting. i cant imagine that affecting the wishbone bush. but it might be worth a look. your elongated hole is just like mine i think. so thanks for confirming they are all supposed to be like...

that drawing on the ebay posting is not like my set up. the arm bolts to the other side of the wishbone bush on mine. if you get what i mean. the car drives spot on . no bumps or bangs , tyres arent scrubbed and it handles great. steady as a rock at speed as well.

Hi R2. i dont really need the bolt hole sizes. from the picture above the bolt fits snugly in the hole. i just want to confirm that the mk3 subfame holes are elongated. bit of an update. i have had the car on the ramp and loosened the wishbone bolts. ive the got the crowbar in and moved the...

it didnt really get solved did it. no one has categorically said whether this is normal. if anything people have said its not normal. i have seen pictures of brand new mk2 subframes and the same hole is elongated . so to be honest with you any advice ive had off here has been pretty much...

hi all. Further to my previous posts the problem now appears to be with my subframe somehow, no matter how tight i tighten the bolt on the wishbone bush the bush still moves side to side slightly. i have read in other posts that the metal sleeve in the bush should be bolted tight in between the...

Hi all can anyone confirm whether the bolt holes on the wishbone subframe mounts should look like this. cheers. just put a brand new wishbone on, and car has failed mot for play in wishbone bush.

forgot to mention the bolt had no signs of wear.

cheers chaps. heres an update . ordered a new wishbone from eurocarparts £120, turns out its exactly the same wishbone id bought on fleabay exact numbers stamped in, so fitted new wish bone and noticed an eleongated bolthole on the subframe. here are a few pics. put a massive washer on the...

hi all, fitted new front lower wishbone suspension arms 6 weeks ago (fleabay £200 for the pair). took it for the mot today and it failed. excessive play passenger side wishbone bush. anyone else had faulty wishbones.

good to know. i thought i was taking a big risk buying a car with 107k on the clock.

bought a 2012 rs 200 in jan with 107k on the clock. i can honestly say it feels like new, nice and tight.

cheers for the advice turkie172. bit of an update. it turns out it was the steering rack bolt on the pass side not tightened enough. previous owner had the exhaust flexis repaired before i bought it. mechanic must not have tightened it back up enough.

hi sounds like it could be the clutch release bearing.

i posted earlier about ball joints knocking so ive replaced both wishbones both drop links and both suspension arms (look like small droplinks). i did the pass side first and the knocks from that side dissappeared, however ive just done drivers side and the knock is still there on that side. if...

i will find out this weekend. droplinks and wishbones ordered.

aye , will do.

Cheers MarcB. im going to buy the whole wishbone. Thanks for the advice.
