front wishbone (transverse link , control arm) overhaul bushes & ball joint

If front arms solid but scruffy it well worth refurbishing them over buying pattern n14 arms .
seam welding and epoxy painting along with quality oem style bushes & new ball joint will have end product better than pattern new arm .
2 thread links below on oem bushes & ball joint info to get parts sourced & job jobbed

Nice

Yeh it useful info, mreguest get credit for bushes from his input in the linked thread .
quality bushes & balljoint could be as little as £29 per arm as most of this stuff is on clearance pricing as old junk now :-)

eBay europe is real cheap on older model car parts & decent known brands available too .

Rep given sir

Cheaper rear bush can be had from firstline for £8 making it about £22 in parts per arm .
Not used firstlline on bushes so not like comment on quality, Febi-Bilstien good, Blueprint good, Moog good .
I like the Moog balljoints as come with grease nipple but doubt you get them direct in Europe, FAI or Delphi good . FAI can be had under £7 (eBay) . Most pattern arms are crap compared to the oem arm plus need swap supplied rear bush as wrong so getting old OEM blasted or wire brushed & tig'd and rebuilt makes sense in quality & price .
