Wishbone alignment

Featured Replies

Hi does anyone know where to get these pins from to align the rear wishbone bush on the front wishbones thanks.

If you are talking about subframe alignment pins T10096 - so you can remove the front wishbone rear bush housing from the car and later replace it in exactly the same position - then I have a set branded 'Asta tools' that worked perfectly - see first link below. I'm sure there will be only one factory in China knocking them out, so any other set on ebay or Amazon is probably equal to it, e.g. second link for a few quid less.

Thanks for the reply EXCELLENT.

But please forgive me for sounding stupid but how do these pins work (ie)

If the bush is still inplace and you put the pins in to hold it how do you remove the bush with the pins still in.

A do apologise for being silly 

Cheers 

3 bolts hold each housing to the subframe. The 2 smaller ones can be used to alter alignment, as the holes in the housing are quite a bit wider than the bolt shaft - there is a lot of wiggle room until you tighten the bolts up and their heads clamp the housing into position. 

 

The pins have an adjustable bush that is the same diameter as the the housing mounting holes. When the pins are lightly torqued into the subframe, their heads will hold the bush in the required position so the housing alignment is retained. Just be sure to remove the 2 smaller bolts and screw 2 pins into those holes first: You can then remove the last (bigger) bolt and the housing can be pulled straight down off the pin heads. Refit is reverse etc.

 

Link below shows some better pictures of the pins and their bush/head.

Just received me locating pins but they dont fit (ie)

The threaded part wont go through the 2 small holes on the aluminium block.

Any suggestions thanks 

No need to remove the alloy block if you only change the condole bushes, they can be pressed out and replaced without removing the block, an alignment after would still be a good idea though,
