Just taken the old girl in for an MOT and she failed on the nearside front ball joint.
Not a problem I thought go and order a new one, replace and fix. Problem is I have the arms where you have to replace the whole lot not just the BJ. Main dealers want £123 !!!:icon_soap
I ain't pay'in that so has anyone got an LCA they can sell me please with a good ball joint and not silly money. Got to be done this weekend so if you are local to Essex that would be grand.
Thanks.:thewave:

Have you tried Salvos? Admittedly it will be 2nd hand stuff but they are good and deliver fast too.
