Lower arm price

just a thought, the bushes on the lower arm, can these be replaced with poly bushes, if so is it worth getting a 2nd hand arm and then replace the bushes and ball joint, obviously if the arm can be sourced cheap enough

ive got quite lot of lower arms I would do cheap to clear
yes you can polybush them either with whiteline antidive kit or polyflex bushes

Well I finally changed these the other day and they are direct replacements.

How much per arm were they pete ?

Couldn't find receipt then noticed Ive put £115+vat a side on first page

Balljoints are around £12 to £21 pending on manufacturer & your status at your chosen motor-factors. Wouldn't go for any of the cheaper options as quality is awful ...

115+ vat is quite expensive  if you cost out replacement bushes and a balljoint it would be half that .

Yeah but I couldn't be bothered to source ball joints and the rubber on the end, then spend time replacing the parts. Not sure if the rubber in the front of the arm can be sourced? Admittedly my front rubbers weren't that bad though, might keep the old ones, if these BluePrint ones aren't all that ill repair the old ones and refit them.

Rubbers ?

Bushes i think it must be

This is the wishbone:

There is a metal tube incased in the rubber on the front of the lower arm where a bolt goes through, this is what I was referring to that wasn't worn and the other rubber is the one that can be polybushed.

That is a bush just different type mate  press in and out with a press just with a sleeve through

Yeah a sleeved bushed, that's the one, not sure how easy to source it is though?

Power flex do a one 23 quid its poly but not stiffer and they do a stiffer version sure whiteline do one. I suggest a motor factors should be able to get them not sure tho

Thats why i was a little confused ..... as id seen the bushes ... i thought you was referring to something else .

Yep rubber in the bush is bad in either form  

Not if your playing safe its not   

Playing safe is boring spolis the effect. Maybe a write up may help this thread with pictures as i know these bushes are tight to fit and sometimes require lube not always supplied with the cheaper ones

We will have to find someone that's done/going to do them.
My passenger side rubber; the one at the back, fell to bits upon removal and some of it was stuck to the metal cap that holds it in place!

Sunny GTI arms + Nissan Sunny N13 bushes

sunny Gti ball joints are the same as GTIR ball joints .
About £5 each from local factors

10 points for the person that sources the sleeved bush then
