Just wondering if the front lower ball joints can be changed or does the whole arm need to be changed?? Just that i found these on ebay. Just that i want to get the whole running gear new and tight :cool:

yes you can just change the ball joint, any garage with a press should only charge around 20-30 quid to do it

Cheers buddy. Get those ordered later. I will fit them myself. i never pay anyone to do anything because im a tight arse :rofl::rofl:

fitting yourself is virtually impossible mate, you need like 2-3 tons of pressure minimum :smash:

 

Although it can be done with a good bench vice, some big sockets and an extension bar, but i wouldnt recommend that :rolleyes:

Nothing is impossible :)

Nothing is impossible :)

thats why i said virtually ;)

isnt it the same price to get a new wishbone?

 

the wishbobne has to come off to to this, and the new wishbone would come with the new joint.

 

or am i mixing this up with changing the bushes? :slap:

:rofl:its not the rears, its the fronts i think he means, and its not a wishbone, its a lower arm :D

and last time i priced a new lower arm and wishbone it was 175 plus vat ( diff car though, 200sx)

so i think this may work as cheaper

Cheers buddy. Get those ordered later. I will fit them myself. i never pay anyone to do anything because im a tight arse :rofl::rofl:

 

Did you manage this yourself then ?

Not bothered to do it yet lisa. If you have a good vice a lump hammer and some heat im sure it would pop :)

More about getting the new ones in though !

Just put plenty of grease on. They should pull into place when you tighten them up on the hub housing

 

I need to do mine but i cannot be bothered :rolleyes:

ive got a press if you wanna come over and use it;)
