In which case just buy Apec from your local factors. The price is unlikely to be more expensive than Eurocarparts with the code applied (which is done at checkout  ;):y

Whilst the point DG makes may be correct, the corrosion on the existing ones doesn't make BG's suggestion viable, so my original ask still stands... :y
New or corroded, people have been rebushing Omega wishbones for decades ???

If the ball joint has a knuckle on the rear face, then these are sided whilst those with no knuckles are reversible. Either way drill the rivets, and swap out/rotate the ball joint.

Both Genuine and aftermarket ball joints include the bolts for refitting them.

Also worth noting that the rrp for genuine wishbones is almost £300 :-X

For the OP, failing/failed diff mounts are unlikely to be your issue. ;)

When they fail, if you throw the car into a corner, if feels like the back end just fell off, made worse if only one has failed as the weight transfer is highlighted one way... Also worse with estates due to the higher CoG.

Also the problem seams to be coming from the rear/Diff which makes me think it could be the prop bearing


fitting refurbished diff mounts made my car a lot quieter.



Slightly OT but regarding the above. Did you refurb them yourself? I understand that the mounts are no longer available and that too hard a Poly bush can make noises worse. I think I need to do mine to cure slight rear end rumble and tighten up the rear steering bump steer wandering, so I am interested in any feedback.
Mine were repaired in a similar fashion to Nicks, but were solid. No complaints of NVH, but it was an estate running plod springs/working self levelling and with rear subframe polybushes, front wishbone and arb polys, hd Monaro top mounts along with 18x8/245/40/18 wheels and tyres.

If anything rebuilt diffmounts complete the package as they keep the rear end fixed and allow the suspension to do its job :y

Technically, the 2.5/2.6 uses an AR25 whilst the 3.0/3.2 use the AR35.

The AR35 is preferred as it's a higher torque rating. Physically they are interchangeable, and you would simply unplug and remove the existing box and throw the new one in.

That's about as uncomplicated as it can be :y

The ball joint is the only thing that makes it left or right.

Easier with the headlight, radiator pack, top hose, power steering reservoir battery and abs block out of the way :y

But not much ;D

There's also wiring in there, so be careful if you cut it out.

I wouldn't live in a Democrat State if you paid me, so there's that...

Apply some perspective though and the British Guardianista's would describe US Democrats as Far Right!  ;D
True, and to be fair, most Americans are normal decent people, but the left seems hell bent on screwing over all but the champagne socialists. It is a relatively small group, but Antifa/BLM/woke retard bandwagon of choice are having a pretty good go at completely screwing up the American way of life. The sad irony is that the liberties that affords their right to cause chaos, are the very causes they stand against.

There may well be new President in the White House in November, but it won't be a Democrat  :-X

Makes a plot of land and a doublewide in rural Tennessee or Arkansas quite appealing from an affordability point of view :-\
