hi guy, i have had a look through the search button and couldnt find anything relating to what i need.

my n/s/f lower ball joint has got play in it,not excessive at the moment, but my question is to i just buy a standard ball joint or complete arm? geniune or aftermarket?

my other questions would i be better going for a up rated bottom arm with the bushes all complete,if so what should i get?

thanks in advanceThumbs up

Aftermarket QH balljoints are circa £13 from Rollins in WrexhamThumbs up

No need to buy complete arms even if your bushes are shot,you can replace them alot cheaper than buying complete decent armsWink

Would you rate the QH stuff as one of the best aftermarket makes? Genuine question?

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?
