Hi all, mot is due and while changing droplinks ive found a split on the n/s lower wishbone balljoint, might get an advisory on it but would love to source a replacement, i think however its an integeral part of the whole assembly, if so anyone had any dealings with getting the whole lower wishbone. found a company on net with em for 135 ea so dont think thats too bad a price.
cheers all.

from previous experience a split gaitor will fail the mot.it is possible to purchase the ball joint separetly and replace it.
if you have access to a press they are easy to push out and replace,at a push you could do it in stu using a couple of g clamps and a bar.

cheaper to go direct than ebay.
wayne if you go to the mazda section and look in all products, scroll down a bit and they are there.
gonna order 2 as the other sides looking a bit dodgy.
then just have to nip over to see me mate to pop em in.
