Hi all,
My 2001 1.9D Bingo Multispace needs new wishbones on the fronts as the bushings have gone and they're knocking like hell.
Searching online shows several varieties of wishbones available for the 1.9D berlingo, of both the cast steel and pressed steel varieties, where the cast versions have the ball joints incorporated into the arms, and the pressed arms have removable ball joints that bolt on.
Currently my van has pressed steel wishbones with removable ball joints. I'd like to replace the ball joints with the arms as a matter of course, but I'm on the fence about which type to order. I can pick up a set of cast arms with ball joints for around £60 a side, or buy pressed arms and new ball joints for the same price, give or take.
I was wondering if anyone had any insights into which kind I should order, particularly with regards to compatibility problems.
Thanks,
Tom
