Looking for a bit of advice. 369 is going into the garage next week for new front wheel bearings, track rod ends, discs & pads. Is it a bit extreme maybe changing the wishbones as well or is there anything else worth doing along with those other jobs instead ?
TO CHANGE THE WISHBONES OR NOT??

I had the same dilemma with my 182 and fitted all of the above myself.
As you are already paying the labour to replace a lot of the front end components I would go for it.
Also taking into consideration how cheap the Oem wishbones are which come complete with bushes, bottom swivels it’s a no brainier.

I went for replacement brand new bushes (Pure Motorsport Cornwall) and the Lemforder ball joints. Quick clean and paint and job done, at a fraction of the cost.

Think I’ll go for changing the wishbones. Looks like RPD don’t have one of the sides though
RPD`s site is showing No Longer Supplied for the RH side 8200257957, so longer an option.
The bushes are 8200651169, though many go for the Poweflex option.
Take care to order bottom ball joints with 12mm mounting bolts.
I just came across these 182 wishbones from KTR, which would seem to feature the revised caster angle from the 172 CUP, that was used on all 182`s.
