I have a UK O/S front upper wishbone in my stash, it was on my type s when i bought it (clearly the previous owner had no clue) and judging by the mot history im pretty sure it was only on the car for 2 years max, I'm not sure if its genuine or not but from what i can remember it was in perfectly good condition. I'm not at home atm but i can dig it out when im back in about a week if you like?

Thank you. Iv been told I may be able to press it out. But while I’m there I may as well change the whole arm with the new bushes and bolts too.
Thanks

I suppose you’d be pretty crazy if you kept a worn one
What was fitted on yours then to replace the removed one

Ideally I’d like new. But at this moment you are the only person who can provide me with one so far thank you.

Send me some details

I cant bring myself to throw away perfectly good parts haha. I managed to find a type s/sh one from Rockauto in the US, think it may have been a Moog item. Anyway i think the UK one i took off was another copy part but there was nothing wrong with it so i threw it in my stash to sell later on. Im pretty sure i came across it only a couple of weeks ago when i was sifting through spare parts so let me get back to you when im home towards the end of next week and we can sort something out.

Literally just remembered this, i had a look and it seems ok, the bushes are solid and the balljoint seems fine to me, let me know if you still want it.
