I recently bought and fitted a wishbone + bushes set off the bay and now the car feels awful. Does anyone have any experience of these pre built sets (ones with the ball joints riveted on), have i bought a lemon or is it likely to be something else. Everything went on ok, right length ball joints etc. Feels like i've just made slightly rubbish handling into dangerous handling. Oh and i can hear some creaking every now and again.....

creaking could be soo many different things?

i had the rivet version on my car for a while, they were fine
i had to replace ball joints on them eventually, i drilled out the rivit things and put bolts in with new ball joints

I know I know, I didnt realise they were the riveted ones, was so disappointed when they came through but id booked the day off to do it and it was too late, good job too cos my pass side p bush fell apart when I took it off. Having the car tracked tomorrow, hope this sorts it all out. I'm pessimistic though.....

thread update, tracking sorted, one track rod end replaced, car feels so much better, lesson learned, getting tracking sorted after replacing suspension.
