Ok the Story is that about 3 years ago i did lots of work and hwn i took it to mot they told me i would need to replace the wishbones welll the o/s/f so did both well they got it wrong gave me mk 4 to start off with any way..
the car has done no more then 2000 miles thats over the top ..

the problem is that all the bushes have all gone also the wishbones have also started to bend they don't have the strengthen plate too here some pitures ...






here is the strengthen plate

euro parts don't have this piture


euro part is Q drive


new parts are Quinton Hazell QH for short

im afraid thats the story with nearly any after market wishbone for the mk3 regardless of where its bought from.,
i went through 5 pairs of cheap wishbones ranging from ebay £15 each to branded one such as QH in a space of 2 years

Then i tried some flo-flex pbbs racing wishbones they fell appart.

Then i bought a pair of genuine ford wishbones and all new hardware for somewhere around the £160 mark and within 5 months them bushes were knackered too,

So i bought another pair of genuine ford wishbones, a set of poly bushes from burton power, had the ford bushes pressed out and the poly bushes pressed in and they've been on the car over a year now and are still mint and they get allot of abuse, its well worth the investment of polybushes, powerflex guaranteed them for as long as i had the car
(i had a long conversation about the problem with mk3 fiesta wishbones with powerflex).

QH parts i prefer than like the euro car parts or other aftermarket pattern parts. all the others are pretty S**T. i got QH wishbones on mine now and there still in pretty good condition and when new they feel a lot more solid than did the euro prats one.

Im sure somewhere on here a while back somebody found a supplier that did aftermarket ones that lasted ages for ford prices (or thereabouts). Anyone else remember?

I had a set that lasted ages, then I had some which shat themselves within a month

All depends on how your car is modified with regards to lowered setup, bigger wheels

and the way you drive it, also potholes/ speedbumps
