   Hi Newbie here,
   
   Has anyone bought front wishbones from Ebay? was wondering if there was anyone that could comment on their quality and ease of fitment. My son has a W reg 1.1 Saxo with noisy front bushes so was going to get a cheap pair off ebay if they are worth getting.
   
   Thanks
   
   Alan

   Usually with ebay, you get what you pay for..
   
   Might be better off going to local motorfactors, usualy they get things in the same day, or next day, and you know they wont be little cheap copys

   If its for a 1.1 the you need ones with the arb mounted to the wishbone.
   
   I cant see how you can go wrong with them, especially if its only a 1.1.
   
   Have you got a link to the ones your looking at?

   Wasn't looking at any particular set but these look as good as any

   Will probably check out my local factors too, I hate the p+p charges on Ebay.

   Nothing wrong with ones from ebay providing you go for a reputable seller. Bought 2 pairs from there now (for different cars) and theyve been absolutely fine with no problems
   
   The ones on the link above are particularly good in that they offer you the 12 month warranty or 12,000 miles - noone would offer that, especially an ebay company if they didnt have absolute confidence in what theyre offering.
   
   Good price aswel there regardless of postage/
   
   Got mine for a VTS for £100 posted. From citroen themselves it was nearly £200 each with vat added on.
