Hi, Front Wishbone [Lower Track Control Arrms] Please correct if any of this is incorrect. The 16v uses 129 front wheel hubs/knuckle which facilitates larger front wheel bearings and being able to upgrade to larger Calipers / Discs from the 129 etc and some other series. The front 16v wishbones have the same pick ups as the 129 series but are 201 wishbones, and are common across the 201 range. The 129 front wishbones, will fit the 16v but are stronger ? have larger bushes ? larger hub end bearing ? The Front wishbone inner bushes are rubber bushes on steel inserts with eccentric bolts into elongated holes for adjustment ? Delrin inner bushes are available but has any body got or using the Thorsten Stadler type outer Rod Ended front wishbones ? On lowered Cars, has anybody here raised up the front wishbone inner pick up points so as to combat the alteration of the cars original supsension geo angles, which alter quite dramtically on a lowered car ? Regards, The Gorilla. |
