saxo ball joints

[rollerdan]

can saxo ball joints be pressed out and replaced with new ones instead of repalcing the whole wishbone?

Tbh you might aswell just swap the full arms/wishbones

You could get ploy-race bushes and ball joins in you orignal arm for the same price for 2 new arms

iv done it before but its a pain, you'll need to apply some heat and get a rather big press, but its definatly possible

Exactly. £70 a wishbone (£140 for 2), or £25 for 2 ball joints and £15 or so for poly bushes (if needed and if you want to swap them)

you can do it without a press.
But much easier to just get the wishbones off and take them to a garage and bung someone a fiver.

I take mine to my local kwik fit and go straight to one of the guys rather than reception.
Any decentish garage should have a press and willing ot do it.

While your at it, you could fit some new poly bushes to the wishbones as already mentioned. Again you can do these yourself burning them out, its a fairly messy job tbh, if your going to do it, burn them out before fitting your new ball joints.

The rear bushes can go on the wishbone, personally never seen or heard of any going on saxos however.
