Hi to All,

I have a 2009 RRS with 50K, I need new stabilizer bushings, ball joints, control arm bushes and tie rod ends.

I have booked the car in at Trivetts for warranty work and waiting for the service department to ring me back.

I would like to know whether others have got these items replaced under warranty or am I going to have an argument?

Thanks in advance.

Very likely to be wear & tear

Worn ball joints were flagged up on a recent MOT but they were "within tolerances". Had they been completely knackered the service manager confirmed it would have been a warranty job no problem. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

Had my control arms and ball joints replaced on my MY06 at 80K, its a known issue with the type of suspension set up we have. When i had the last change on the MY06 approx 18 months ago, ALTO had to wait for new Ball joints to be delivered from the UK which had been recently redesigned apparently..

My new 3litre oil burner which is just 8 months old has already had 2 new front bushes (at 17K) and a steering rack So no doubt after 6 years there are still underlying issues/design flaws Another Pommie Bar Steward down under
