DanBoy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hey guys, A knocking has developed on my drivers side front wheel, been to check it out, everything seemed okay until the last minute it was spotted that the bush on one of the arms (the lower rear curved one) has essentially disintegrated. Am I right in assuming that this requires a whole new 'banana' arm? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement. Thanks in advance Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Search (banana or compression) and you'll see examples of what it's like - if it's just the rubber bush, replace that - not the whole arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBoy Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks for the quick reply, So the bush can be replaced, but am I right when I say the whole arm should be replaced if the ball joint is on the way out? There is a bit of play in it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy88 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 To be honest, unless you're going to do it yourself, I reckon it's easier to just replace the whole arm, that's what I did. Only cost me about £100.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBoy Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Well I've been looking around and cougarstore has them for £250.00? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 When i done mine, i just replaced the bushes, cost me £71, for both sides and up-rated bushes too! done it myself which was a pain in the arse But if your going to replace one, its probably sensible to do both! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Well I've been looking around and cougarstore has them for £250.00? they are expensive! thats why i only done the bush, but my balljoint didnt have any play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBoy Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Nice one, where did you get your bushes from? The ball joints are fine, so I'll give changing the bushes a crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
