    Hi all,
    I Failed nct because of a worn balljoint and have rang the fiat garages for a price on the part number 50700779 (full wishbone) but am been quoted €184 +vat.
    Now,i see these on ebay for 40-50 euro but from uk but was wondering does anyone have any details of where in ireland i can get these at a good price?
    I was thinking of changing both as the car has been faultless in 3 years and i would be worried that the steering may be as tight as if there was only one changed.

    Anyone got any ideas?Recommendations?

    Regards,

    Kieran

    If I was you I would find somewhere up the north. The ebay ones will most likely be poor quality. I got complete front wishbones for by BMW for 110 pounds each and only 10 pounds to deliver anywhere in Ireland. They were high quality ones also not the rubbish you get in motorfactors down sound. The parts would have cost a hell of a lot more if I bought of a BMW dealer.

    Don't know if these are OEM quality or spurious parts.

    Darragh_29 or some of the guys would point you in the right direction.

    I got two wishbone bushes (only) for my car recently and they were circa 100e for the pair. Went to the main dealer.

    Dont limit yourself to dealers there are good quality spurious parts out there especially up north which would be just as good as OEM and not as expensive.
