Suspension issue

[TDK 0]

Hi

 

Front suspension arms are fatigued with age.

 

Basically whats going to be the cost to replace is what I want to know :(

Depends on which car you have, and whether you want to replace bushes and ball joints at the same time..

Less than £100 for new wishbones fitted with bushes.

 

Plus labour to fit them.

 

New bottom balljoints would be a good idea while you're there though.

I have just had wishbones and balljoint fitted.

 

VW GSF

Wishbones (each) £56 £40

Ball Joints (each) £21 £??

 

The fitting should take about 1- 11/2 hours - my mechanic charged me £35, and did the 4-wheel alignment tracking for that too. I was happy.

 

The VW wishbones come with better bushes that the GSF ones - apparently, so I went with them for the extra £32.

 

...and you should be able to get 10% off at VW too.

 

God luck.

I had the wishbones done last year the actual wishbones were £60 but to my surprise all of the bolts and washers and bits and pieces came to £57 ( nearly had a fit in VW at poole ) But how prone to snapping any bolt on my car is i did go for it and good job three bolts snapped.
