Aftermarket QH balljoints are circa £13 from Rollins in Wrexham No need to buy complete arms even if your bushes are shot,you can replace them alot cheaper than buying complete decent arms  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

from what i can see replacing p bushes and ball joints looks kind of simple. However how do you lot swap the front ones? surely you need a press to get em in, what about out? Can you buy arms with out p bushes and ball joints?________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |
