Jeff !!!
I'd be interested to know a couple of measurements from the unbroken wishbone ?
1) centre of metalastic/poly joint front end --- to centre of same rearmost in mm's
2) centre of bolt through front joint --- to centre of Sherpa joint( before being unscrewed ) ?

Hope you get replacements from Steve in time for Saturday . Hope to see you there !

Looks like a HAZ failure according to Steve at Fury Sports Cars

I have a pair on order from Raw (although they don't have new stock they are taking some off a car to send them out....great customer service !) with new bushes and Sherpa taper balljoints.

Interestingly, in a geeky way, the Striker/Phoenix wishbones are not the same as the Fury. The new Striker from RAW is the same as mine though. Striker/Phoenix mounting points on the chassis are around 25mm further apart compared with the Fury. All this comes from comparing them side to side at Fury Sports Cars at lunchtime :)

The chassis mounts are 220mm between centres compared with 200mm for the Fury but the front section is the same so the taper balljoint is in the same place.

will they be the same as mine in the photo as they look different to the ones you took off? but in saying that I suppose dimensions should be the same.
