kazman Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hi all although my friend and I could not find any sign of wear in the front suspension ball joints, I am assuming the worst and that the drivers side compression rod/ banana bar needs replacing. This looks like a git of a job as the front cross member needs removing ( I assume it does not on the lower control arm), and so I was wondering how many hours a garage would charge for this job? I'm still hoping it's a drop link, had them off today to find that the supplier had sent me the rear ones (despite me emailing them and asking them to confirm it was the front ones they were selling). Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Lower control arm: 30 mins. Compression arm: 60mins. The cross brace is easy to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazman Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thanks mate, and thanks for your pm. I was concerned that there was no where to support the front of the car if you are removing that front cross member. I assume there is another point underneath the engine tray that is robust enough to jack up from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
