im after just the ball joint you see, but ive got to get the whole arm, as the ball joint isnt seperated!

they want Ԛ£110 at blue bell, crewe. and on here https://secure.gsfcarparts.com/shop/

they want Ԛ£38 incl. delivery for the "Control Arm LH"

is it the "Control Arm LH" that im after or is something else?? im after a near-side arm which holds the bottom ball joint.

thats right, the joint is part of the arm, so you will have to change the whole unit!


i changed both of mine!
would also recommend changing the bushes at thr rear of the control arm too!

all depends if ur on a budget, then go GSF or jsut goto the dealers and moan about the price, and they should give 10-15 off!
just moan abit!
