Hey guys,

After seeing all of the good reviews regarding Motaquip wishbones I decided to try and get hold of a set.

I got them from a company called Autoparts here:

http://www.autopartsonlineshop.co.uk/vsa916a-bottom--control-arm---citroen-xsara-picasso-peugeot-306mk2-partner-1996-2011-97-p.asp

They match the part numbers specified in the Motaquip catalogue but they look like they are manufactured in a different way and appear to be solidly cast as they weigh a fair bit. The ball joints don't look to be replaceable as per normal wishbones either.... Has anyone have any experience with them?

Thanks Smile

The ARB clamp just fixes down using the same bolt that holds the P bush down. It just sits on top
They look like they will fit but are a bit odd!

Thing is if the balljoibt goes you will have to replace the entire wishbone unlike the standard set up

They are late xsara picasso and van arms, they will fit but youll need a different bolt into the bottom of the p-budgt due to the alloy body having a different thread.

fook knows what eddy is on about as the hole is clear as day in the pics LOL

Thanks for your replies.

Does anyone have the correct part number for Motaquip wishbones?

On their online ecat (http://www.motaquip-ecat.co.uk/) it states the following:
Mk1 306 (1993-1997): VSA914 (Left), VSA915 (Right)
Mk2 306 (1997-2003): VSA916A (Left), VSA917A (Right) (These are the ones I have ordered)

Cheers guys

I think he is on about the little threaded hole that just goes into the Bush area and only connects to the subframe to stop the p Bush turning
