Rear suspension wishbone

Post by chappers »

Hi

new to all this, can anyone tell me if there is an upper and lower wishbone on the T25 rear suspension arm or is it just referred to as the rear suspension arm, need two (LH and RH) for the van i am buying as they are corroded, failed MOT.

also i have been told that there is a difference between rear suspensions on diesels (1.6) and petrol vans, is this just some rubbish from the garage in question?

cheers

rear suspension is simply a trailing arm with spring and damper, they are a commonly rusting through known issue. The rear springs are also prone to snapping the small inner pig tails too. Dampers pretty long lived generally but well past use by date now.

And the heavy duty sachs/Boge ones from JK's, they're just to stiff for my liking. :(
