My 4x4 is in for a 'Bronze service + extras' today. They noticed splits in the rubber gaiters around the ball-joints in the front suspension wishbones (please excuse if this is not their proper name). Apparently there is no play and this is not an MOT failure item - they just wanted to let me know and did not even advise changing them. They have packed some extra grease in, though.Anyhow, apparently the whole suspension arm has to be changed, as the ball joint is not sold as a separate item. c.£450 to replace both...Does anyone have any experience of this? Is this a general Panda thing or 4x4 only etc?thanks in advance!

Same for all Panda's sadly. Best thing would be to fit some aftermarket wishbones
As I said. It's the same for all Panda's and the solution is aftermarket wishbones.
£450 pmsl!

Much cheaper than what the stealership are hoping to charge. If it were me I'd choose the Febi ones.
