Fitting wishbone bushes

1844 Views 12 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Renrut
Can anybody recommend an Indy in or near Ely, Cambs to fit these bushes front and rear?

The usual Jag Indy who looks after my car (and I really rate them) isn't keen. Apparently had issues of them wearing out very quickly. His prices for fitting new wishbones are much less than a JMD, but nevertheless quite a lot more than re-bushing the existing suspension.

Others thoughts and experiences appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi - can't help with an Indy but can you tell us the age and mileage of your S Type?

Many thanks!
I know its not to everyones taste but good 2nd hand wishbones from a breakers aren't such a bad idea at the price (usually around £50) and if you have a lift very quick to fit as its only about 8 bolts and a quick alignment check (but you'd need to do that anyway).

Sorry bout the slow reply, busy work schedule and only just catching up now! I've used Jojags in Speke (Merseyside) in the past and never had a problem with anything from there, they do sell through Ebay a bit but its easier just to give them a ring. Even gave me helpful advice for more troublesome DIY bits, like removing the front hubs from the uprights (soak liberally a week before in plusgas!).
Thanks for the info re eurojag and jojag. It's MOT time next week so hopefully I'm all sorted.

My thanks again to all those who have helped.

I think Jojags has attracted some negative comments from people on here - try a search and see what you can find.

I did a search and I see what you mean, thanks for the 'heads up'!
I'll be honest I'm quite surprised by the threads on here regarding JoJags, I've never had any problems with him. Bought quite a few bits from him too over the last 2 years. Never any of the daft things to buy secondhand like clutches which take massive effort to replace and so you want to be certain it will last a long time when it goes back together. Maybe its because I collect them in person, his postage rates are high.
