Funny you say that I've had the drivers side one replaced and when I steered to the right I don't hear a noise but when I steer full lock to the left the noise occurs. That's not been replaced. Ah cock. Back to the garage! |

Just actually looked at rave cos there seemed to be a bit of play in mine and it looks fairly simples to change whole arm is about £70.00 and is held on with two bolts. I am fancying a bit of on drive spannering to swap mine over in the next few weeks.

Yes looks simple doesn't it but I guess half the battle is having the right tools. Plus if I cock it up I'd be devastated!

Done both mine a couple of weeks ago, it is a simple job if you have a good jack, axle stands and a decent socket set, some ring/open ended spanners and a ball joint splitter.

No reference to splitter in above post? Is it really needed if replacing complete arm as in link above. Seems very straight forward. Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

The above post isn't the lower ball joint it's the transverse link, the balljoint is behind that link |
