    Angry Daylight though bushes

    Hi,

    As above, jacked my t5r up to look up at the rust behind the front wing, which is like a swiss cheese, and saw, to my horror, that I can see daylight round the front antiroll bar mounting bushes. Is this normal, give that the load has changed due to it being jacked up? Or is it as I suspect, in need of a replacement?

    btw, who does the best quality replacement wings?

    Cheers,

    Al C.

    Have no idea about the bushes but I would say a genuine Volvo wing is your best bet for fit and quality
