Front Wishbones

[taylormj4]

Hi all,
Can you buy front upper and lower wishbones from anyone other than TVR? I suppose they're bespoke for the Chimaera are they?
Anyone found a good deal on these recently, I think mine are past painting.

Cheers,
Matt

Think they are bespoke, but not an expensive job and the parts are cheap (rare I know, but take the advantage while you can!!). All up you shouldnt be looking at more than £200 - £300 for the job...

Then again, do they really need replacing - it could be just surface rust which can easily tidied up...

Yes only available from TVR be warned i waited 3 months last year for a lower wishbone price-cira £50 and easy to do just remember to have the suspension set up again as you will disturb the camber the wishbones now come ready bushed aswell Tony

Seem to remember there's a screw adjuster for some suspension setting instead of a pinch bolt, so settings don't slip.

Though some-one mentioned that if you clip something it'll bend instead of just need adjustment. Swings and roundabouts.

I need new uppers so I'll be ringing around over the next few days.

Thanks chaps!
Who's done this job before then?
Do I have to use spring compressors whilst removing the wishbones or does the spring reach full extent if you let the wheel droop right down?
