Elise bent wishbone

HI all,

I started my Elise S1 suspension refresh this weekend and noted some worrying damage to the drivers sider front upper bone:

So now I'm factoring two new Elise parts uprated items, the rest are fine, once I've de rusted them and painted they will look new again, I'm fitting all new bushes and ball joints too. Any one got thoughts on which bushes, im leaning towards polyurethane......

Also, I'm looking at a set of protech shocks the replace the bilstines, any one got experience with these on the Elise?

elise spares are a very good company and are able to source anything for a lotus you would ever need.

you should give them a call during the week

Hey,

Thanks for the tip, just been on Elise spares and to he items seem comparable to the Elise parts ones I was going to look at getting. These are a bit cheaper. 😉

I'll let you know how I get on. Also checked my bushes this afternoon, and to be honest, they look spot on, no real need to change them. So think I'll just leave them as they are, the PU ones need more maintenance any way apparently.
