is it a all in 1 fixed wishbone arm item as the nuts are ovel so no way of getting the old ball joint off as i,v bought new ball joint do i have 2 buy a whole new wishbone with ball joint attached wot is the best way to get old ball joint off if there is a way thanks

 

forgot 2 say car is a fiesta rst i know they should be only the 2 nut type but 4 sum reason its the 3 nut ball joint on this wishbone ?

 

you need to grind the old mushroom head/blind bolts off the arm,and then replace them and balljoint with the bolts provided with your new balljoint

if your lucky the holes will be the same size

 

cheers bud looks like i,ll have 2 do that

 

You tight cunt,there only about Ł15 for the complete arm in a motor factors,bought one for an escort on Friday,three bolts,15 minutes,job done!!

 

as said cut the heads off the hammer them out, if they dont move then they need to be pressed out

 

Buy the arm you tight cunt lol

 

before you get the angle grinder out,

please change from those nike air jarusalems,and wear some proper protective footware

 

for fuk sake these ball joints cost me 9 fu@king quid each there going back now u told me that lol for 15quid i dont need the stress right kids it's safe to cum out again lol

 

there not nike's m8 there buzz lightyear size 6 space ranger dap's so fuk u lol

 

well you should have spent the extra on those as well,saved you even more grief.

 

are you buy frst arms for 15? as frst amrs ARE diff the normal fiesta's

 

Sorry for calling you a tight cunt but I've fallen into this trap before by not realising just how cheap the full arm is,I'll check the invoice but I'm certain it was 11 or 12&vat!!two 15mm bolts/18mm spanner on top on the inner subframe,the ball joint and job done.

 

trust me m8 if i had never bought the boy the buzz one's i would of had grief allright

 

I'd be pretty certain their not,the hubs on all later fiestas are the same as turbos,I know cos I used to make them,subframes the same so where's the difference?Pretty sure the frst used a 1.1 box as well?

 

dont know why but feesty ones are much dearer than escort arms, nearer 50 quid each

 

genuine ford arms for the frst are 70 quid each, i put motor factor 1s on my frst and they lasted a couple of months, total shite if you ask me better with the ford 1s

 

the ball joint sits back about 10mm or so on frst ones, an yes ford ones last longer, worth 70 all day long.

 

as said above Frst one ARE different and cost more than standard Fiestas and any good motor factor should point that out to you, and also use Genuine Frauds ones if your keeping the car as they do last longer for some reason!

 

do ford still stock these ? if not who does

 

they should do i got a set not long ago, the part numbers are 1054984 and 1054985 not sure which is passenger or drivers side though.

 

put two anyway
