Hi, thanks for your reply, if i can find any 2nd hand in OK nik i'll concider them, failing that it will be new parts, got a quote from my local mr T in glasgow:

 

n/s/f lower wishbone arm - £235 with a 15% discount.

 

ive yet to call about the other parts.

 

i did some digging and think i have found the part numbers for the bits i need:

 

o/s/r top wishbone - 48770-19025

n/s/r top wishbone - 48790-19025

n/s/r lower arm - TBC

n/s/f lower wishbone - 48069-14080

hey, i couldnt find anything on their website, might have to just call them instead. i have since called Mr T again (this time from CJ's post about his contact in toyota with a nice discount) and ive been quoted the following:

 

48770-19025 Rear Upper Arm – RH - £338.07

48790-19025 Rear Upper Arm - LH - £338.07

48740-14070 Rear Lower Arm – LH - £171.12

48069-14080 Front Lower Arm (wishbone) LH - £236.76

 

all in delivered was about £1100 :(

 

new just isnt an option for me just now i dont think!

whats wrong with the old ones. if its just the bushes you can polly bush them may be cheaper or just re-bush them. if they are bent i might have a rear set of wishbones in my spares stack somewhere.

 

its the ball joints unfortunately on all the arms ive mentioned, i need my alignment done and the garage suggested i replace these parts before i do as i would just have to get the alignment done again in a couple of months!

 

he showed me the ball joints and right enough they were torn and weaping grease. ive been told that changing the ball joints can be done but a p.i.t.a? i dunno, all i know is if i have to fork out mega bucks to get me up and running safely then its no nurburgring trip for me at the end of may! :( :(

i should have them all in stock...all used

think i have a lower front oem brand new in stock too.

 

ooOOo can you provide costs and pics please? as long as the ball joints and bushes are in decent nik thats the main thing, as long as they all last me a few more years ill be happy with that. as i said in previous post, planning to visit the nurburgring at the end of May this yr with some mates, if i cant find the parts good enough or have to fork out for brand new parts then ill be gutted - proly have to miss the trip :(

I also need a pair of rear upper suspension arms for my NA. Same probs as 'Danger Supe' worn bushes and ball joints. Powerflex don't seem to list the bushes and i've also been told the job is a bit of a nightmare. Goinl Le Mans in June so need the car tip top. Thanks.
