this is probably common knowledge to you guys but thought you might want to know that if your lower ball joint goes on your car, it seems the recall only applies to the "straight" arm rather than the "curly" arm.

found this out today when asking for a replacement...

they knew my car had been done by asking for my reg plate.

also thanks to richy rich, i bought the ball joing (curly not straight) from camskill for a darned site cheaper than dealership!

it be here wednesday! :2thumbsup
