Hi guys can any one help iv got a mk6 escort i noticed that the front tires were going bold on the inside also car was pulling to one side so i had the tracking done but now the car pulls when brakeing and when i put me toe down iv been told it mite be the wishbones can you guys confirm this also will i need to change track rods and track ends if so how do i change wishbones ect thanks for your help

 

sounds like a wishbone bush has failed, change both the arms and have the tracking reset. probably nothing wrong with the track rod ends

 

as above.....i just did 2 x wishbones, 2 x track rod ends and had tracking done on a mk6 i'm selling and its now driving like a new car.

Wishbones have 2 x bolts that hold them into subframe (1 is easier to get into than other but still not difficult) and the bottom ball joint bolt. I'd advise coating them in WD40 a few days before you start and if you have access to it, a bit of heat on the bolts.

I also put new bolts in for peace of mind. Hope this helps.
