Wishbones every 6months ????
Hiya all,
Got a quickie.... June last year had new set of front wishbones on a XR2i. MOT said they were a bit soft and had a weird pulling when you allecerate. Once a new set were on fine was fine.
About 6months on I Replaced again in Dec and fine this week had the same problem just replaced them with proper fords fine no pulling
Has any one had this problem before
Should this be okay as it really weird its going through wishbones every 6 months ... I got a K&N Full scopin exgust, power boast vaule and a high lift cam. My girlfriend standard XR2i has had no problems with this ??
All help would be greatful many thanks
