Title: Lower ball joint recommendations
Post by: Elite Pete on 10 April 2014, 17:33:50

I'm going to be rebuilding my wishbones in a couple of weeks so i've got my front poly bushes and Vauxhall rear bushes and got a price from work for genuine Vauxhall ball joints, £41.76 each side and that's cost price. That's worth more than the car so has anyone got any recommendations? I've seen Fabi at £20 each delivered, any good?

TIA :y

How much do VX want for a pair of rear bushes ? Considering a similar venture with the original arms.

Thanks  :y

EP, I used Lemforder from AGP, I believe they were about £15 each, not including postage (bought with other stuff). Probably about a year/18 months ago.

I actually have Delphi ones fitted to mine :o

Infinitely better than the other bits fitted to their wishbones :D, and besides, once refurbished, they're only £8 and four bolts to change :y

Especially as they're the only things left on my wishbones left to fail... both bushes are bomb proof now 8)
