Hi!

Right then, can anyone give me a rough guess as too how much the following will cost on a GTA (atmo)..

1. Rear suspension wishbone has corroded so will require welding (or replacement).

2. Wiper motor has failed so will require replacement or fixing.

Cheers!

It would probably make a difference which part of the country (or world) that your in. If your near a specialist or if your planning to go to a renault dealer (usually very expensive, but a few are good with GTAs) etc etc...

I don't think wishbones are cheap, but I really don't know.
Have you tried calling a Renault dealer?
also have a look at www.alpinerenaulttuning.co.uk, under handling, wishbones. Uprated tubular ones are available at £155, each I guess.
Perhaps the wiper motor can be repaired or is tha same as on another Renault?
Some one on here will know.

OEM Rear lower wishbones are around £300 each. Best to repair or uprate as suggested.
