Slightly different wishbones :/

    Hi all,

    I oredered two wishbones online for a fiat panda a few days ago. The ones I ordered were QH Left and Right.

    I got the parts this morning and one of the QH ones has been substituted with a different (more expensive) brand.

    There is a bit of a difference in the ball joint between the two. While the metal middle bit is excatly the same, the rubber bushing that is around the bottom is a different height.

    The QH one has the rubber coming about 1cm higher than the substitute part. It is very obvious when you compare them directly, one has twice the rubber than the other!

    Do you think this will make a difference in the driveability of the car once they are fitted? I contacted the supplier and they said that the parts are both OEM parts, so sould be exactly the same!

    Thanks,

    Ken

    I wouldnt be happy, They will surely have different wear characteristics and worst case, may even feel different if the rubber is harder on one that the other,
    Id want to fit 2 of the same.
