Car: A3 1.8T Quattro Sport 2001 (Y reg)
Just got back from garage after getting an ABS sensor fixed and the mechanic said he took it for a quick run after fixing it and noticed I had some movement in my front wishbones. The car has been feeling quite skittish at speed (circa the national speed limit, maybe a touch over but not by a lot oh no no no) recently and hasn't been handling anywhere near as well.
I have read a few posts here about wishbones and bushes and what not. My mechanic is quite happy for me to purchase the wishbones (only my OSF one seems to be skewed but he suggests getting both done at the same time...) and i imagine new bushes are required too (those S3 ones I've seen mentioned somewhere sound good {not polybush [whatever the f they are???]})?
Just really after some info, cost of wishbones/bushes (finding it difficult to locate new prices, don't want used), whether there is a "preferred" brand or what, any extra info is good info. I'm afraid when it comes to cars I just like driving em, not fiddling with em.
So, well, thanks any for info in advance. :thumbsup:
