sudden shock loadings can damage so much just think of the force involved, that caliper lock up was instant and you still had the cars momentum with all the wheels still trying to turn (4wd) huge amount of torque!I'm amazed how much damage a caliper locking up in a wheel can do!
Bingo!what? so that N14 wishbone is the same part as the gtir one just with a different bush on it?
it has a triangular base, you can just see it starting in this pic. its whats on mine and they were triangularBingo!
I hope that's just a generic picture in the link for the N13 bushes, because it's not right; the GTi-R specific one has a sort of triangular top to it so that it sits in the recess in the floor pan. Just be careful taking the old ones off; it's easy to cut to far and into the wishbone below.
thinking about it, you might be able to grip it in a vice and twist the hole arm to get it off. i went a bit oriental on mine lolstunning news!
sorry more questions..
does the rear bush not just slide off the end then, like the whiteline one does?
is the front bush with that wishbone ok on the gtir?
