can anybody recommend where to get these from and a rough idea of how much they are . ive heard they have to be pressed into place , can this be done on the car or is it a strip down job

iirc they are not available on their own :( You have to replace the entire wishbone.

JeffTT would know the answer.....

 

.....and as for new parts; you can't go wrong with Mike Feeney at MJP!

Last time I asked Mike they were £249 less vat each :helpsmilie:

 

A second hand one should only be about £25 or so and they don't wear out that easily.

ar these the ones you grind the front off heat up and punch out the wrong way?

That bolt is a bugger to get too. I ended up drilling a hole into it and then split it with a cold chisel.

 

I should think Jeff will be able to sort you out with one. That's who I got mine from :)

Send Mike at MJP a message, you might be able to get a ball joint replacement and press it out and new one press in. You now can for the front lower ball joint and they are about £35 each - they might be the same.

It would be advisable to remove the arm to remove/refit ball joint and while your at it replace the 2 bushes at the subframe side.

It was Mike that told me they aren't available separately from the wishbone :confused1:

Oops! You replied while I was editing my message. I mean't MIGHT. It wasn't long ago that the ball joint for the front wasn't available on its own, now it is.

If Andy does end up buying complete wishbones, I suggest he tries CZP (US) - much cheaper.

lol. You could be right mate, I spoke to him about it in the spring. So it may well be available on it's own now. Would make sense.
