   My cars going in for an MOT and the ball joint has excessive play in it.
   
   To solve this I'm just going to replace the wishbone. But which wishbone do I need exactly?
   
   Can someone find it on ebay for me or find the correct name for it incase I get the wrong part?
   
   Thank you!

    nah, iv'e just bought 2 new wishbones for £76. Cheap enough and can fit myself whereas I would have to pay someone else to fit balljoints.

    Fair enough, All you would have to do is bundle a garage with £10 to fit the balljoints for you

    i considered fitting ball joints but it was a job in itself to find a garage to press out the old ones and in the new ones. absolutely everyone just said its easier to fit whole new wishbone.

    yeh thats what the garage told me, were gunna change me an hours labour for each side so decided its worthwhile just to get new wishbones. Same price + i can fit.
