You can buy a pair with bushes and ball joints on ebay for £40 inc postage and do them yourself, done mine last week piece of piss

Take me roughly 45 mins to do both sides as a guess. Last time took me about hour and a half to take two wishbones off then replace bushes and then put the arms back in.

Where all my moneys went.

Impact guns to undo and initial tightening. Just jack up and whack out tbh. Balljoint tools make them easy enough.

All replaced and tracked for £140 - it feels so much better now!

They are pattern parts but Ive used them in the past and not had any problems, I guess I'll go quite easy on them now though  :grin:
