FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi all

I am after the front right hand side control arm, bracket and bush as highlighted in the photo attached. (I'm pretty sure it is just the bracket holding the bush that is bent, but better safe than sorry)

Mine is bent and has a fair bit of play which is causing my rattle.

Anyone *cough Dwayne cough* got one I can grab?
Just let me know the price.

Also, does anyone know if that would be a fairly simple replace job or a PITA? (i.e. DIY or mech?)

thanks in advance.

Easy to do. Just undo all bolts necessary... All you need is a socket set pretty much

Youll have to crack the ball joint wont you?

No I've done dads and didn't need to

Thanks Sahin,

Now just need to find me the parts...

Ok so Dwayne doesn't have any of the arms,
Does anyone else?
I am, however, grabbing the brackets off him - and can anyone link me to the bushes that I need for it too? (Might as well replace both sides while I'm there)

I've got one mate. And yes you do have to crack the ball joint if its been in place for a while.

Awesome,
How much you want for it? - You free tonight, I'll come around and pick it up.
Do you have the bracket too? (Might be easier for Dwayne that way)

Yeah pretty sure I do. It may need a new ball joint though, I split the boot when taking it off the car.

I 'unno, what are they worth? $40 bucks?

No worries, I'll come grab it tonight off you - when are you home?
Where would I get a new ball joint/get a new one put in? - I'll come chat to you tonight about it.

EDIT: Definitely driver's side right?

You can get them from Pedders, they're not expensive, about $30 odd bucks I think I paid for one. I've got the part numbers & everything, they're the same as... yep a Magna

I've got both sides spare.

Awesome, I'll finish work around 5:45, be home around 7ish, so maybe 7:30-7:45, is that alright?

Did you end up sorting this out? Let us know how you go

Awesome, I'll text you to let you know when I'm leaving.

Cool, that'll also give me time to press out the busted ball joint.
