This high specification replacement wishbone is fabricated from top quality CDS (Cold Drawn Steel) instead of ERW (Electrical Resistance Welded) tube which has a welded seam along the centre.

CDS is stronger than ERW as there is no seam so we can reduce the wall thickness without reducing the strength.

TIG (Tungsten inert gas) welded rather than the messy MIG (Metal Inert Gas) which forms a stronger bond to the metals and gives a cleaner pristine finish.

TIG welding is less prone to stress cracking and distortion whereas MIG welding can cause porosity which can weaken the joints.

This takes more than twice as long to TIG weld the wishbones but we think it is worth the extra benefits TIG welding gives.

Once the wishbones have been welded they are then Zinc passivated for corrosion resistance similar to the original wishbones.

We do offer further protection by Black Powder Coating after the Zinc coating which can be found seperately within the wishbone section.

All our wishbones have new Ball Joints pre-installed and we also offer the option of 4 types of wishbone bushes.

The benefits of these bushes can be seen in their separate sections linked here;

N.B. Early S2 K-Series and VX220/Speedster's also used this wishbone design, if your Handbrake Cable is held by a P-Clip (on top of the wishbone leg) you'll require this type of wishbone.
