Opel Insignia 2008–2017: rear upper wishbones — which is better to choose:

custom-made wishbones or polyurethane silent blocks if available?

 

The question of choice — to replace the entire rear upper wishbone or install new silent blocks — often arises before the owners of the Opel Insignia 2008–2017. The main keyword phrase “rear upper wishbones” is a relevant topic, especially when it comes to quality, wear resistance and comfort on the road. Suspension repair is one of the most responsible procedures that directly affects the car’s handling, its behavior on the road and the level of safety for the driver and passengers. Therefore, it is important to approach this issue comprehensively, understanding all the technical and economic nuances.

   

Replacing the rear upper wishbone or installing new silent blocks: what’s the

difference?

 

The choice between a complete replacement of the lever and the installation of polyurethane silent blocks depends on several factors, and each of them plays an important role:

  • The degree of wear of the suspension element itself. If cracks, corrosion damage or other mechanical defects are found, replacement of the part is mandatory. You should also pay attention to possible deformations or loss of metal strength, which may be invisible without detailed diagnostics.
  • Financial capabilities. Installing silent blocks is a much more economical solution. A complete replacement of the lever will cost more, especially if it is an original part or custom-made products.
  • The level of expected comfort. Polyurethane provides clarity in steering, not inferior to rubber elements in the softness of the ride. If it is important for you to preserve the factory characteristics of the suspension, polyurethane inserts will be a good choice.
  • Availability of parts and time. Often the necessary levers are only available on order, which implies a longer waiting period. While PolyPro parts are always in stock and ready to install in the shortest possible time.

Thus, updating silent blocks is an ideal solution for most cases where there is no critical damage to the lever itself: it is fast, profitable and effective.
