In October 2008 I had the drivers ( R/H ) side front wishbone snap and discovered the other side was cracked.
Both replaced with second hand ones which due to our climate corrosion is not a problem.
Today having a pre race inspection, we are having a super sprint and hill climb weekend, it was found both have cracks. The thinking is that PU bushes have caused extra stress hence the cracks.

It's a good to check then, especially if people have PU bushes

Annoying but interesting, can you post pics ?

What PU bushes are you using ?

[andrew]

I bought them from Brown & Gammons some six years ago. "Probush" at the same time I fitted there adjustable shocks, compliance washers and lowering knuckles.
Two months later I had to have new rear turrets installed as the stiffer shocks ripped one away from the inner rear panel and the other ripped a huge hole in the base. See http://www.mgf.ultimatemg.com Go to Technical/DIY then the chamber of horrors and see my car!
