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 :-?

lowering can be a rite Bic™ on your cars geometry it generally means that as the stresses are on different parts of the component as to what they were manuactured to be at they wear quicker
