Hi all, I am keeping my Mk6 escort for a while as working things out we could not afford to run a cossie if anything went wrong e.g. engine we would be stuffed

I was looking at the lower arms by Zoo, as the ford one's dont seem to last on modified cars the worst one being this below were rust get's between the joints and just breaks

Not mine, but this had a MOT a week before this happened with no sign of it going


So as I am keeping my car I was looking at the Zoo ones and they look alot more solid.

Is the one above the "Front tubular wishbones - adjustable camber"? Also is it worth paying the extra £40 for "Rose jointed bottom ball joint to Front tubular wishbone kit"? and are Mk5 lower arms the same as Mk6

Also are these easy to set up? as it would be my local machanic that would be fitting them if I got them

Cheers for any info/advice

Steve

 

I want some info on this as well

 

Yes those are front wishbones, and will be fully adjusatable for camber.

If you get those you will need the bottom ball joint kit.

I think the 5/6 is the same yes.

Fitting would be simple, but would be best checked over and set by someone with a laser alignment gague. Any decent tyre place should have equipment to do that.

HTH

 

Cheers

 

look great

 

thats shite the way ur old one's gone

 

It was someone else's off another ford forum thankfully for me but not for him, lucky he wasnt at speed when it happened the scary part being is it rusted from the inside out so he didnt see anything untill the bugger snapped

And yes I do think the Zoo one looks great aswell
