Hi repairing sons car after MOT fail ( 2005 astra 1.8 petrol estate) Fortunately mechanicals - but unfortunately some on each front wheel>
So I have Offside lower ball joint and broken spring so considering replacement ball joint only ( drill out rivets bolt in new) or new arm 3 x part cost but less hassle?? comments??
Nearside split CV boot. Obviously to fully replace needs ball joint split and drive shaft out BUT the "Bailcast CVS18 Universal Split Constant velocity joint boot " seems to cut the work. Are these acceptable for MOT pass ( couldn't speak to my tester but wanting to order parts for weekend!
Thanks
