Lower wishbone play

  1. hi guys
    Just about to pull the trigger on a megane cup....
    Having read up on the issues and possible weak links
    I've read up on the mot history
    It states play in lower wishbone ball joint...
    I know it's a possible area for concern as it can be costly ?
    Need some advice to bargain on the price on the car !!
    Can you get the ball joint on its own ?
     
  2. Yes u can, they should be replaces only once, so make sure its not been done, otherwise new control arm job

  4. That's great news if they haven't been replaced of course
    Anyone happen to know what the part no or where you could get these from ?

    Thanks so much for a quick reply.

    I can supply the balljoints for the Mk3 far cheaper than a new set of arms. Easy enough to be changed as well.

  8. Hi Jamie
    That sounds ideal
    So they can be removed pressed out ?
    Lots of different opinions

    They unscrew out the arm with some heat
