Hi again !

garage been in touch saying there's a lot of play in the bushes in the rear upper wishbone , stating that if he could get inner bushes for it he can do, but may damage the ball joints !

so i've got to order 2 rear upper wishbone arms for this, when i phone toyota(steve manley) do i call them wishbones, or is there a proper technical name & does anyone have a part No. for them ? or does anybody else stock these ?

help much appreciated :search:

When my ball joint was knackered I ordered a new one from Steve Manley but mine was the lower one. I ordered it as a lower control arm.

 

If you are unsure I am sure there is a link which Nic posted for the parts catalogue which should help you.
