Hi

After looking on the GTS Tuning site at rear wish bones, i noticed that they advertise them as 10mm longer than the book size, they say this is to correct a mistake.

Can anyone tell me if this is true?

Depends on the version of the book you have. In version 1 the dimentions for the rear bones were for shortened drive shafts. To use the standard driveshafts you had to increse the dimentions by 10mm. I think this was corrected in the 2nd edition. Look on the roadster forum and there is a thread on the book errors

If you make the rear wishbones to the book sizes you will have to shorten the drive shafts by 10mm. Make the rear bones 10mm longer and you can use standard length shafts. If you go to the haynes forum you will find a list of book amendments.

As others have said, they were incorrect in the first version. Mine is the reprint from July 2008, and has the correct dimensions.

Also, be wary of GTS, some people have had some bad experiences with them. Do a search on here for GTS.

Other firms to consider, with better reputations, and all active members of the Haynes forum are (in no particular order);
3GE
Saturn
Talon
