430 F430 Front Lower Wishbones

Depends on where the play is originating from...have you thought about just replacing bushings/ball joints?

 

Are you sure he is not having you on, the ball joint is £115 , the 2 seals are £37 total and the Flambloc is £78 from Superperformance in the uk.
That assumes every part is worn- normally you just change the ball joint and seals so £152 in parts and about 2 hours work. DIY job
If you need new arms the part where the ball joint fits would have to be worn but never seen a worn one yet. If it is worn in this area then it is scrap

 

some big sockets will do

but i assume big sockets can be called special tool, too. not everybody has it, not a regular tool to be used daily in professional shops

 

You need a tool to press out the old one, but you can use it to press it back in. You can get the tool from superperformance for about £70
Note, if u r doing upper and lower ball joints the tool is different so 2x £70
You can make one up with a bit of screwbar and a big socket
Also do not fit oem ferrari ball joints or you will be doing the same job in a few years, the hill engineering ones are stainless and should last a life time.
Go onto the superperformance uk site, then V8, then 430 suspension and you will see all the bits u need but avoid ferrari ball joints

 

If u fancy doing yourself i have a script on how to do it, which i can e mail you. Nothing hard about it and u will save a lot of money- £400 each in labour costs in uk, hence i did my own

 

Just a note to say that even Hills will wear out over time, but this is dependent on the mileage covered and more importantly the quality of road surface on which the car is driven.

 

Put a squirt of bike chain lub into them yearly , using the long thin plastic tube u get with the tin

 

Both sent

 

Mike send me one also. [email protected] My scud appears to have the same problem
