Afternoon All does anyone no can you replace the ball joint on the front wishbone, if so can you recommend where i can get one from. Mazda have told my local garage you have to buy the whole wishbone.
Cheers Oggy

in my opinion its simply not worth it.
Ive replaced the ball joints on mine at least once per side, generally lasted a year. My local garage also agree that buying the full new wishbone with actual mazda parts. This is what ive done. Ok they are more expensive but the balljoints are a pain to change. up to you but i would look at the full kit n kaboudle
