Best place to get a Driver side suspension arm?

[Yasuraka]

Only place I really know about is eurocarparts. But is there anywhere that would be better in either cost or quality?

Ive been told to get a mounting strut to go with it? Cant find what that actually is to get a price of it.

Any help would be much appreciated :D

A mounting strut?

Suspension arm is called a wishbone, whats the mounting sturt you mean? The top mount bearings or wishbone ball joint?

Any motor factors should sell them they are a common replacement part.

Only other thing you will need is a pinch bolt.

Only mounting struts i have ever heard of are on old Renault's. Never heard of one on a saxo.

I dug out the receipt for the last one I had to buy but they only have it described as SNR Suspension Kit. Part number KB659.03

Not being very good (actually I'm quite shit) with cars and their parts if I'm asked to get something for it its usually quite an ordeal lol

I'm ok with the wishbone/suspension arm as I already bought one for the other side, just that other bit that had me scratching my head

why do you need to replace the strut top bearing when replacing the wishbone?

Any ways ebay sell them and so will everywhere else.

After buying one of these strut top bearing packs at the same time as my wishbone I've found out it wasn't because of the wishbone it was needed. I had my lowered springs removed and standard ones put in place and for this reason they needed replacing.

However moving on... always feels like theres something wrong :(

I've had both wishbones changed and it has removed the horrid clunking and grinding sound when I turned corners.. and it its place I'm left with what I can only describe as a groaning sound coming from the drivers side when I turn corners at lower speeds (carparks and such).

Its booked in for its MOT on Monday but I would rather not have a wallet tasty surprise so if anyone can shed any light? Even a few could be's is better than me being in the dark lol

careparts4less is cheaper than Eurocarparts

Further advancement on my problem, it is indeed the cv joint that is away on the offside. Priced a new driveshaft from that Eurocarparts at £71 odd pence, and from a place called tms in Falkirk would be £64 but I dont know if that would include the vat or not.

I'm told it wont fail a MOT for it so itll likely have to wait till the pennies come back in :(
