Wish bones

I am getting a slight vibration from the front drivers wheel. have had the balance/tracking done. not cured

I took a look at the wishbones, and I can 'move' them very easily by about about 5mm at the wheel ( pulling/pushing on the wheel)

So I want to replace the wishbones, easy job ? does not to bad, just worried that when i remove the old w/bone the suspension will move and I will struggle to reposition the ball joint?

Thanks

Re: Wish bones

I've replaced both lower wishbones on my Multipla- it's fairly easy to do- I didn't even need a ball joint splitter. Just make sure you jack under the body not the suspension, and that the wheel hub is as low as it will go on the spring before you undo any nuts and bolts.
Are you sure the play is in the wishbones and not the wheel bearings?

Re: Wish bones

Thanks for that.

I can see the wishbones moving at the rubber bushings, so looks like i need a new one.
