WANTED - Driver's Side Wishbone

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

WANTED - Driver's Side Wishbone

Post by Laurie945 » Mon Jan 21, 2013 12:48 pm

Hello all, I hope the weather isn't causing too many problems, unfortunately slightly over-zealous driving caused Victor to take a curb in a head collision, causing a perfectly straight wishbone to turn a bit queer. Does anyone have one for sale? If not, does anyone know anywhere to get one? To my knowledge the part number is 3443999 on the Volvo register, unfortunately unavailable as a new part. Thanks team.

I would second that. I had both my fronts replaced with new (from eurocarparts IRC) and it made a noticeable improvement to handling of the car.

Cheers guys, i've found it cheaper on ebay from 'First Line', anyone used them? If you say 'Partsforvolvosonline' are good I will take your word for it. Thanks

Gone to 'Car Spares Distribution' which stock FirstLine components, Midlands based distributor, £50 for the wishbone and bushings including a new ball joint. Transfer from Birmingham store to Netherton store in one hour, i'll let you know if it's too good to be true.

Hello all. Got the wishbone, got 'MOOG' printed on it, First Line distribution through Car Spares Distribution, Netherton, West Midlands. It includes both bushings and a new ball joint, dipped black and with a 2-year guarantee for £60 inc. VAT. Will let you know how the tracking goes tomorrow. Thanks for your help everyone!
