Evening chaps As above my coupe failed it’s MOT last week , front brake lines and 14% handbrake, doing these myself now the evenings are lighter !
One of the advisory’s was the ball joints on the lower arms had slight play which is surprising as they were replaced by the previous owner just before I purchased and can’t have covered more than a 1000 miles!
Rather than replacing both arms can I purchase the ball joints separately? Looked on real oem but they only list complete arms , any advice/ part numbers appreciated

Highly unlikely you will find the balljoints are available separately on that style of arm.

Thanks Steven maybe I’m getting confused with my wife’s Z3 ? Very easy these days 😂
Just made some front brake lines s I have a day off and the suns out, everything going great then the last bleed nipple decides to shear!
