I then see that posters have recommended not to replace the coffin arms as unless they become an MOT failure they remain to be perfectly serviceable.

Suggestion · Original poster

My car had advisories for front and rear suspension arms having some play in them, as I'm soon to have new tyres fitted I thought it would be a good idea to replace the arms and have geo set up all at the same time.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My car had advisories for front and rear suspension arms having some play in them, as I'm soon to have new tyres fitted I thought it would be a good idea to replace the arms and have geo set up all at the same time. I started to research on the forum whether it would also be a good idea to replace track rod ends, drop links etc at the same time too. I then see that posters have recommended not to replace the coffin arms as unless they become an MOT failure they remain to be perfectly serviceable. I now don't know what to do, please advise...

POST 2Original post

I am in favour or replacing all arms at about 6-8 years to maintain the ride quality. Even if there is no knocking or play in the metal part of the bush, the rubber will be past its best. But there is a cost. To manage this I used the Hartech rebuilt arms and links did the work my self. There are aftermarket options available that are cost effective too. If you can afford it, replace all of your links. you won't regret it.

POST 3Original post

I would recommend taking your car to Centre Gravity which is to the north of Coventry, and getting them to do a thorough inspection. They will be able to give you an impartial professional view of what needs doing and what doesn't. I used them last year for this very purpose, I can't recommend them highly enough

POST 4Original post

Just had my rear ones done £140 from frazerparts ,£120 to get them fitted . The opc wanted £1335 for the same job , I've not driven the car yet so not sure if it feels any better , but there was a tiny knocking noise from the back before I got them done hopefully it will be away now .
