Hi everyone,
I realise that Escort wishbones are a very common topic and most people are probably bored of them, but I've gotta ask, sorry.
My '98 van's are shot and need replacing and so I rang my local Ford garage today and was quoted £106 per side. Is this right? I was expecting maybe £50 each but over 200 quid to supply only, it seems crazy.
I appreciate that the van may need tougher ones than a car, but I don't carrry anything heavy in mine so could I get away with standard ones?
If so, any rcommendations?
Cheers.

 

go get them from your local motor factors m8!

 

the ford ones last, the factor ones don't because they are a 1/4 of the price

at least that's what i've found with the mondeo

still cheaper to replace them every few years and not be skint

 

The car ones don't last long at all, even the genuine Ford ones.

 

If you are keeping the van for a while and dont mind paying slightly more than the Gen ford ones look here

yepp the ones in the traders section are the biz for the price

 

£45 each for genuine ford escort arms however van arms are more due to the uprated bushes

 

Thanks everyone.
Will be going for Ford ones, was suprised by the price but it seems best option.

 

I got a pair for a friends car and they were 50 quid for the pair.These were after market ones though.
