@bazz no, didn't realise that, we also changed the inner and outer CV boots and the inner one that I ordered was wrong (it was the same as the inner) so spent a while chasing around to find the correct one. Mauceri motors happened to have one which was great but we ended up wasting a bunch of time getting that. As a result we were running short on time and failed to check videos / instructions

Well at least you know where the problem was for next time.

Lower wishbone bolts have arrived. Thought I'd only ordered one set, actually two. So with postage it's was quite a hit at 90 quid!

Ouch! That's rubbing salt into your wounds.

I'll be sending them back for a refund

Holy moly that's a lot of money for 8 bolts!

Campbeli · May 28, 2019, 04:04:27 PM

Yep, a rip off really. Even with full refund I'm well out of pocket from the courier charge. Lesson learned.

So why didn't you just go down to your local bolt specialist and grab some?

Campbeli · May 28, 2019, 04:25:26 PM

I did in the end........but at the time I wasn't sure if I'd have the time to do that , so ordered from EB thinking that was a way to get the right grade bolt, etc.

LOL! Not sure I can afford them now!

Fingers crossed I'll be getting my GTA back from Maureci Motors before Sat.

Could these bolts be one-off use, TTY fasteners?

It doesn't give angular torquing for them in eLearn, from memory.
