Sorry to hear you had so much trouble with it Stefan I'm hoping my driver side arm is as trouble free as my passenger one was

Anyway - well done on doing it yourself, you've saved yourself about £450

Thanks.

I've not even driven it yet since replacing the arm, it appears that the rubber inside the bush had sheared within itself so fingers crossed when I now brake on Monday, I won't get that knocking sound

Well I've only managed to do my passenger side so far as I don't have anywhere with shelter to work on the car so rely on dry days. Even though I was getting knocking on both sides before, it seems to have stopped completely after having just changed the one side.

I'm looking forward to doing the driver's side this weekend. Hopefully it'll make the car handle a bit better too.

Could be a number of things...

Do you hear any knocking sounds when you drive over potholes? Do you hear a click if you apply brakes when reversing? Is there any play on your steering wheel? When were the brake pads last changed? How long has this been a problem?

Have you ever had the anti roll bar bushes changed?
