Moving onto the front of the car the wishbones were next for the poly bush treatment. My first problem was passenger side wishbone was bent at the ball joint end .
(cunt)
So today i got 2 new ones from Euros. They supplied me with 2 that have Q - Drive sticker on plastic packaging ,but the actual wishbone has FAI stamped on them. I dont have a problem with the quality of FAI parts , even have the Timing Chain set on my car.
But last night i was looking at carlos thread and knew he had a problem with fitting his powerflex to the rear of the wishbone they are not a tight fit. So after a cunt of a time trying to get the brand new bearing out , they were fucking solid (air chisel didn't help this time)
I realised mine are the same not quite a tight fit a little movement . I'm talking like a micrometre of play. That must be the slight difference between a genuine vauxhall part and an aftermarket replacement. I was wondering what carlos done could not see what you done in your thread only that you put the original one back in . I put mine in anyway cause i totally mangled the new bearing trying to get it out so never had much choice.
I found though that after a heavy slap of grease there was no movement . Drivng home i could not say i noticed any major problem on that side. Never got the chance to do other rear and 2 front bush's cause of time .but will probably just put them in see how it plays out over the next week if there are any problems just put originals back in or go for Vauxhall Genuine one 's . only 2 choices left i think
