    Front lower control arms

    Ball joint is worn quite badly on my nearside lower front control arm, now I am going to replace them both with Driftworks adjustable arms, will these just simply fit into place without anything else as my car failed an MOT because of this.

    You'll need them fully aligned and to be honest when I had a set I wasn't impressed with them. It'd be a lot easier and cheaper to to push in new ball joints if you don't need the adjustability

    As above I’d fit new new ball joints in yours will be easier you will want an alignment either way
    but if you do go with new arms let me know if you wanna sell your old ones

    Rock Auto should be able to sort you out with a pair of new arms, bushes and balljoints pre-fitted.

    CamSkill used to do em over here, but stopped selling alot of stuff

    Okay just ordered the driftworks arms.... how much on an average do you think it will cost for a garage to fit both arms?

    Fitting is relatively cheap, it's the full alignment job that will set you back a few hundred quid.
