Hi,
I have a frst and it's gone through 4 sets of bottom arms in just under a year, i am just wondering if anyone could be able to hint as to why this is happening??

Also it is constantly setting tracking off and it's scrubbing tyres,

Any advice???
Thank you

Fiesta RS turbo

Are you getting them from your local motor factors for about £12.00 each? if so theyre crap.... where are they perishing? if on the outer ball joint its from a heavy right foot, if its one of the other 2 inners it can be from excessive lowering, try get some uprated bushes pressed in and see if that helps

ok, thanks mate.

Yeah, first two were ford arms and others were motor factors.

it's both sides going but i've 60mm springs in it but it really doesn't seem to be lowered that.

should i take springs out?

If you look how the arms sit on a standard fiesta you will see they are almost level with the wheels on the ground, if you imagine lowering it 60mm then thrashing the bollox off it you will see they are under a lot of stress...., try just dropping it 40mm see if it helps
