Some play. Shakspear Byron,Wordsworth, :lol:

This would be the amount of slack in the joints/bushes.

do a search first but I seem to recall that a dealer was selling them for a better price than Bongobits where I got mine. Be aware that if your bottom ball joint has gone then you need the full wishbone assembly as the balljoint is a press fit. However, if your garage are prepared to and have the facilities then you can buy just the balljoint off ebay (about £55 I think) and get it "pressed" into your existing wishbone for less than half the price.

I got mine from AVA Leisure (http://www.mazdabongo.com) in the summer when I needed a new one in a hurry. Arrived next day delivery.

we had this problem heather when ours failed the mot. got a new balljoint off internet but it was too loose in the wishbone. ended getting a secondhand one from mike at wheelquick with a new balljoint pressed in ready. cant remember price but i think it was around 90 quid.would be worth giving mike a ring.
