    I can obtain the parts for far less than any retailer on the web, but if you want to get them yourself then Eurocarparts.com and discount code summer30 for best Lemforder ones which are better than OE or Alternative Autos for OE at less than dealer prices.

     

    As a warning, the cheap arm from Eurocarparts are trash and are the same as those from bypartsby and shop4parts, I've fitted a few sets of them for people and within weeks they are back complaining about them, I warn them not to use them in the first place but it's only when I show them the difference in quality between the cheapos and a Lemforder that they understand that it's not my fault but the cheap crappy parts, on a suspension you get what you pay for.

    OK, this subject seems to be a contentious one for me... I know its hard to diagnose based on a description, but here goes..

     

    I have a really bad deep squeak / creak (sounds like a squeaky bed in a cheap hotel, except without the knocking) coming from the front of the car, it sounds like the passenger side but I cant be sure... In the cold, the noise goes away, as the weather warms up, or if I'm in traffic, it comes with a vengeance. Also if it's wet, the noise goes away.. no surprise there.

     

    Its very loud and you can feel the vibration through the car.

     

    So, My mechanic (Alfa Specialist) reckons it's the ARB bushes.. and apparently the drop links need replacing too, I'm waiting on them to arrive and I'll do them myself.

     

    Every thing I read in the forums points to upper wishbones... could it be either? both, or more one over the other? I'm hoping its the wishbones as they're cheaper to replace..

     

    Any advice would be great :)
