Doing some pre MOT checks and I have found my bush on the front drivers side upper wishbone is needing replaced.

before I go on ebay does anybody have one they need to get rid off at a better price?

im planning on replacing the ball joints on both sides later this week.
i bought them here- link:

ive seen new arms on eurocarparts and ebay for around £40 - £50 not sure what quaility is like- also heard that some aftermarket arms use smaller ball joints so decided id stick with oem Honda arms and just replace the parts needed

hope this helps

thats the ball joint thats gone on mine,looks like a good price at £11! think I ll have to take one of these instead of paying the 50/60 quid for the arm itself.

cheers Nick!

Do they need to be pressed in?

Yes

Thank you phill

Not much force needed to press them in though mind, can be done with a hammer or vice.

Yeah a bash with a hammer will have them out and back in again. They are held in place by a circlip.

I replaced both arms for £76 new, if the ball joints have gone the other joints in the arms are probably on there way out also plus I couldn't be bothered hammering out joints then hammering them back in. Only a suggestion.

Essentially you can save £50 if you can be bothered to swing a hammer then.
