Mot advisories
Nearside Front Suspension arm has slight play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)
Offside Front Suspension arm has slight play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)
Anyway changed the front suspension arms, if so cost?
Thanks

[/quote]I did my lower 2 arms a couple of months ago because I had the same advice on my MOT advisory regarding the ball joints.
I got genuine Lemforder arms from Jason at all german parts and they were around £70 each.

Is there two on each side?
So need 4 at £70 each ?
How much was labour?

[/quote]I fitted them myself but my local garage would of charged me £110 to fit them.
Yes there is two arms on each side, the ones I replaced go from the chassis by the side of the engine block and then to the hub picking up the suspension strut on the way.
The other two arms are like track control arms and they go from the chassis behind the front bumper and then to the hub.

What about wheel alignment
Will get Indy to have a quick look when they do my brake fluid

[/quote]I used the Southampton wheel alignment centre after I changed the arms and before I fitted a set of new tyres.
