   Hello Saxo drivers, My name is Boris, and I come from Slovenia!
   
   I have a Saxo 2001, 1.4 vts (in slovenia you have the 1.0/ 1.1/ 1.4 regular and vts/ 1.5d/ 16.8v vts/ and 1.6 16v vts)
   
   I think in the UK its called a furio...
   
   The problem is I bent my left wishbone (the right one has some wear) and I found a seller on ebay, that sells them
   
   This seller has:

   http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITROEN-SA...item53e2b044b8
   
   Im guessing 1.4 furio is the same as our 1.4 vts, so I should purchase the first ones for the FURIO
   
   My saxo pictured and my old wishbones photoed:
   
   
   
   
   
   Is there a difference beetwen a wishbone for a 1.6 vts vtr and a 1.4 westie/furio/insloveniavts?
   
   PLZZ help!

   I was confused, because other sellers have the same wishbones, but they have written 1.6vts/vtr ONLY,
   
   And this seller has the add written for:
   -
   CITROEN SAXO 1.4 Furio WISHBONE ARMS + LINK RODS L & R
   
   CITROEN SAXO VTR VTS WISHBONE ARMS + LINK RODS L & R
   
   When I check the compatibility below both adds it says its fits a 1.4 vts and 1.6 vtr vts...
   
   Why would he put 2 adds on?

   i personally would say it wouldnt matter as they SHOULD be the same, but to be on the safe side just buy the furio ones
   
   it MIGHT be that the ball joints are a different size from vtr/vts models to furios
