Important - Broken Wishbone - design changed??
Hi Craig,
Just looking again at your picture of the broken wishbone and comparing it to mine.
To me, it looks like the design has subtely changed.
If you look on the gallery pictures at my rear end mod pic #2, you see that the wishbone tube and weld is right at the end of the wishbone...i.e. the weld that holds the wishbone tubes together is right at the tip of the threaded insert in the wishbone.....therefore, very little leverage / flex point during power / brake application. This is an early wishbone....circa 2005.
If you look at your pics the wishbone leg tube is welded to the other wishbone leg at what looks like approx 10mm inboard of the end of the threaded insert...maybe this is the problem??, gives a lever point for the threaded insert / ball joint arm to flex about....
Any thoughts.
