Ball joints etc

Thanks for posting the part numbers, the guy at bnt I spoke to today was useless. Does anybody find urethane bushes too rigid? Can you get hardened rubber?

I've got an old idler arm at home with Nolathane bushes, they're pretty rock hard and look old as the hills.

In fact the bushes have no wear at all but the actual ball joint on the idler arm was completely flogged out. Like Bart said, the factory idler arm bushings don't last long.

Sounds like urethane is the go then
