Failed Wishbone? Will pay money for your broken ones.

[Noddie]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has broken a K11 wishbone? My dissertation is focusing on the weakness in the wishbone (mostly for rally applications) and as part of the research it would would be great to compare my test results to ones which have failed on a car.
Happy to pay postage and something for your effort

All the best and thanks in advance,

Ed

Maybe something like this?

Thanks mate but im looking for ones which have failed due to bending or fatigue really, if it turns out to be more than bush or ball joint wear then I may be interested. Also really it needs to be micra but let me know what you find .

Just removed one today. Wishbone was 2 year old, balljoint was 2 month old. New balljoint just wasnt a tight enough fit so failed mot on play. I tried a better circlip so it seems like there isnt much play but i still replaced it

Thanks mate but looking for bent ones
Ta anyway!

They'll be H701s
K10 ones are an inch longer, smaller tapered ball joint. About the only difference I know of
