Wishbones - Facelift/Pre-Facelift differences

[Scott]

I'm looking to refresh all the wishbones etc on my car. I remember reading somewhere that there were differences between the 2, and the part numbers would support this, I'm just wondering what those differences are. I have it in my mind the bushes were stiffer in the pre-facelift?

 

What set would be considered the best? If I wanted to change to pre-facelift, I have facelift, what would I require? Any modifications required or do I just swap over the whole wishbone assy and the job is done? What about the hubs?

 

Thanks

Just had a look over the part numbers and it would appear the hubs are the same regardless so that's a little bit of a weight off my mind

iirc they are the same in terms of dimentions and fitting but i think the facelift are heavyer and softer bushed , the pre facelift are alloy and stiffer . not 100% but thats whats lingering in my mind

[Scott]

In that sort of scenario, which do you think would be better?

[dr_jekyll]

id personally go for the lighter stiffer pre facelifts but i think the facelifts would be better for comfort

The lower cast arms on the front are different - facelift have bigger, softer bushes.

 

You can see a difference in the third pic here....look at the size of the bushes are the rear most part of the rear bush.

I think the front uppers have the stiffer bushes too. All others are the same.

Thanks for that Dan. I'm almost positive it was your thread I read

The price is also a big difference.
