Mine are a little foxed, and in fact royally badgered, so I need replacement parts. OPC prices are as usual a little steep, so wondered if anyone had any breaking at the moment, or in the near future.

According to OPC, 220 Turbo parts will fit, but not non-Turbo of any variety. The car is M030 if that makes any difference,

Thanks hugely in advance,

Marcus

I think this a known weak spot (which helped me to a class win at Silverstone when the guy in a 944S2 way ahead of me had a front wheel all but come off within the last 2 laps). He told me there's a modified part available that is stronger/does the job better but it isn't within regs for our racing. May be worth checking if there's something you can upgrade your car with.

Ok diver 944 - just to please you I will join in.

All of our wishbones have new ball joints and most have new rear silent blocks etc.

We have been making them for years with no problems and supply most of the recognised spares suppliers.

They are in stock for 944 (old and newer types) and 968's. We also stock wishbones for 964's and 993's. Shortly we will also stock track control arms for Boxsters and 996's and quite a few other parts for similar suspension repairs.

All are available exchange with a surcharge on the return of the old unit - so you can fit them first and exchange the old ones later.
