Anyone know were to get a pair of lower arm Bs from in the uk. I can only find some in the USA and the postage and import tax is more than the parts.

cheers

I couldn't find any, called a bunch of breakers that had preludes but nobody seemed willing to help, I ended up getting the hardrace ones from ebay, it worked out after import taxes to be about $200, so about £160.

Yeah the same. I've found the same ones. I've found the normal type for the same price. Dont understand why this part is hard to find. Cheers.

Because its a PITA to remove and nobody wants to pay Honda prices for replacements. Mine were ok at first, just the bushes were shot so I installed some yellow poly bushes on them, then after a while one of the ball joints gave up and I ended up going through the same process you are now.

130 isn't to bad for them. It's about that from America but most of that is postage and import tax. I'd replace bushes and regrease the ball joints on the ones I have but the shaft of the ball joint has pits on them on both arms.
