Hi

 

My car just failed its MOT...the nearside (front left), upper suspension arm has excessive play in the ball joint..

 

I just took it to my friends garage to see if its the case and it is....I have to replace the whole upper arm and ball joint...which my local toyota dealer quoted £200 for..as they come in one piece :(

 

I will have to wait until November to get it fixed if thats the case..

 

Are there any alternatives? any aftermarket parts etc?

Thanks guys :thumbs:

 

BTT, as said, the ball joint is an integral part of the arm and cannot be replaced separetely, so you will definitely need a new arm.

 

I can supply the arm for the following price, order time Japan to HK would be 4-5 weeks, plus 5-7 days postage to UK. I have included the part number, so you can check out prices there also. If you need any more help please let me know.

 

48630-19025 Front Upper Arm - LH = £114 + £24 postage
