Cheers for link it's got one of the bushes i need, just need to source the rest, i guess powerflex will do a full set but be fairly expensive.

I wouldnt bother replacing the bushes,just replace the whole wishbone.

I got mine from my local motor factors for £14.00 each,that's with the 2 bushes and ball joint attached ready to fit.

if you look on ebay you will find sellers that sell powerflex bushes.and they are fairly cheap for a pair. gonna do mine soon

Powerflea bushes are a good replacement but they do make the ride very hard and you will get a lot more road noise.

Are all calibra wishbones the same for all models

[sinbrad]

Yeh, I'd like to know the answer to that too! Looking on the web, some people state for all calibra inc turbo and V6 and others state not for V6. There's either a difference or the people selling them don't know what they're selling?

Does the antiroll bar connect to the wishbones? i'm looking at a pair of antiroll bar links on ebay and they look different to what i have on the car, i have just got new wishbones and want to replace what i'm thinking is the antiroll bar links.

Can't post a link to ebay as playstation isn't capable, but i think they are on page 9 or 10 if you do a search under vauxhall calibra.

Any help would be appreciated.

There are two types of antiroll bar links, early Calibra's had push on type and later Calibra's had bolt on.

mines a 97 and in the auction it says for 93-98, just want to make sure these are right part.

97 should be bolt on antiroll bar links, much easier then push on type's.

much easier then push on type's.

Your not wrong there m8

Heres the pic of the ones you want...:



Very easy to fit these ones..

I woulod go to your local motor factors for them rather than ebay.
Mine were only £3 quid each.

[thegeth]

They where the ones i was looking at, just wasn't sure as they look slightly different to mine, but mine are pretty knackered, cheers for your help.
