New 85th le wishbones & beefed up arb brackets

I have eventually ended up with 2 sets, so thought I'd offer a set here before sending the extras back since they were difficult to get!

Its a pair of brand new OE 85th wishbones complete with the 85th le reinforcement bracket for the arb mount. Ideal if you're uprating your suspension - they'll also fit non 85th cars too!

Me being a bit "dim" with suspension what improvements would this actually have? More stiffer ride?

It'll stiffen the ARB mounts which will help with the handling, particularly if you uprate other ARB components (eg polybushed or fit larger ARB's - the TF std bar is 1mm larger dia than the F bar!)

Also, if you're fitting new arms, the bushes and ball joints will be new, as well as the arms have a tendancy to rust which can do wonders for a tired cars handling!

That is a good price, but too late for me :rant: i bought aftermarket ones (Delphi) and painted with extra coats of POR15 and polybushed.

i was surprised how much the old ones had rusted inside, one had rusted through and the other sounded like a "box of cornflakes" very pleased i replaced them :yesnod:

Any pics of them?

Just curious what they looked like

Oh and the TF and F anti roll bars are different and not a straight swap for each other..

I'm sure Quick_Spider knows this... Just saying for everyone else

:broon:

Are the 85th wish bones double shear where the drop links go on?

Just curious.. As that's one mod I did to mine after some advice from engineering Yoda..

For a pair that's mega cheap

Ah cheers spud day..

So still single sheer.. But beefed up on the one side... Cunning

I reckon the 85th ARB would rip em off otherwise
