Where I can source two top arms, rear?
My 2002 CDT Club Tourer has failed its MOT and one of the issues is with what the garage are referring to as the top arms (rear), which the coils sit on. They're both badly corroded, apparently, and need replacing, and the garage can't get hold of them. Are these obtainable, and if so, from where? Thanks!

Thanks. Looking at the website, I'm not sure quite parts I'd be looking for there. By rear 'top arm' do they maybe mean 'upper suspension arm', do you think? Or perhaps this: https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/products/com...37476407836835

As above, DMGRS improved upper arms - definitely the best option out there.

Mine passed 2 MOTs with the things in such bad nick they were allowing the wheels to lose alignment, while getting failed on "slight corrosion brakepipe"
Nice new ones in now

They were not tapped on the original arms, the cooler fin is held on by metal brackets that are riveted to the arm!

Mine must have been tapped at some time because it was held on with 6mm set screws
