Hi, i have a mk6 escort and i need to change the lower wishbones. Does anyone know how much ford will charge for a pair or does someone make better stronger ones and how much. Thankyou for any advice.

ford will be one of the strongest but i reckon you'll be looking at over £50 each what engine/ power you running if it's standard you'll get away with a set of aftermarket ones but if you have been eating them up then ford ones it'll have to be, you can have a cheapy set of arms poly bushed but i couldn't find them singly only in a front end power flex set, the only other option i found was some rose jointed arms for about £250 they would be the bollocks but whether you can justify the money for them

We have lots of lowered and non lowered cars running our modified ones.

When you ask for better/stronger the arm itself is not a problem its the bushes.

Some people opt for Courier van or royal mail arms which they report back are stronger and last longer.

Have both of those in stock too as well as the fully modified ones.
