Bushes and Ball Joints

[Andy6]

Hello all, I'm getting a clunking from mainly the front right of the car to wich I suspect the various suspension bushes are to blame (I could be wrong). Does anyone have any advice on replacements, best technique to change them etc? I had a look the other day and also found that the ball joint at the end of the control arm was worn and weeping grease. I figure I need to change that as well, however I'm not sure if the entire control arm needs to be replaced or will I be able to just change the ball joint?
Any advice will be much appreciated

Hi and sorry for getting back to you so late.

You will need to replace the complete Wishbone, removing the Joint and pressing another one in is a real headache.

Sounds like it's your culprit right there.

Check the ARDL too while you're at it.

Thanks for your reply, I've had a loom around for wishbones and not really found much do you have any recommendations? I'll check the drop links tonight see what condition they are in.

Thanks again
