Replacing front wishbones
«

If I was to replace the front wishbones with a set from a S3 is there anything I would need to change? For instance, press new bushes, longer bolts, etc.
Also would I need to get the car tracking redone?
P.S. I already have a WALK fitted.
TIA.

I think they are plug and play (in respect of not needing any additional bits) - but you would ideally need alignment done - because you need to remove the WALK.

Cheers T_T. Should I take the opportunity to replace the yellow rubber/plastic bushes in the WALK?

Only if they have visible signs of wear, or are split. Otherwise just re-grease them.
