One decent whack of a kerb would suffice :'(

Hey what about anti roll bar drop links?

If there isn't any metallic knocking noise over minor bumps, or no noticeable play in either end of the ARB drop link, and they are not seized (can be rotated slightly), I would say they are fine.

When driving In bad roads I can feel excessive play particularly when suspension stars to work real hard...

If it pulls to the right when braking then it's probably the front bushes are goosed and you might get away with replacing them with poly bushes which can be done without removing the wishbone.  :)

Although to be honest if the front bushes are shot the the rear bushes and ball joints won't be far behind and you'll be better off fitting new bushes to your existing wishbones.  Cheap wishbones are shite in my opinion and experience.  ::)

Yes it pulls but not while breaking... Perhaps its just about fine tunning on wheels etc. But I guess that drop links are in bad shape!

Front bush - Poly
Rear bush - GM OE
Ball joint - Any decent quality Lemforder/Febi etc

 :y
Worth noting that not all wishbones should be refurbished... Any excessive corrosion, or obvious damage and they should be scrapped. ;)

I've scrapped and paint it new  :)
And also replaced bushes and ball joints front and rear shocks etc. a few years ago. Still the car drives shi*
