Front lower ball joint/arm

Reebmit · 5th January 2009, 14:57

Hi All, does anybody know the best place to get a front drivers side lower ball joint/arm for a Rover 75 CDT cheaply. I have seen them for around £48 + £10 postage, is this my best option? thanks

Sounds like a good deal to me as they retail well over £100.00

..................and if you've got Xenons fitted the drivers side one has a bracket for the headlamp adjuster. Only genuine ones have this fitted.

Hi Guys, thats what I thought, I don't believe they are genuine but should be fine as most ball joints that are fitted nowadays are copies anyway, they are advertised on the good old bay. Might have to have a punt!

Some of the ebay ones have obscene P&P Charges and no idea where they have come from

I just bought two made by Quinten Hazel £60 each available almost everywhere

I went to my local http://www.eurocarparts.com/

Best changed as pairs and you ought to change the rear bushes as well

Thanks for the info Keith, I usually use Euro Car Parts but did not think of them on this occasion, I'll pop along and have a chat with a guy I know there. I've got to have a look round under the car and check what needs doing but have not had a chance lately, I'll put it on the ever growing LIST, when you are married with two children the list grows and grows and............
