My Tjet 2008 failed the MOT today due to the right-hand side lower ball joint being bad. My question to anyone else who has dealt with this is that can you replace just the ball joint or do you have to replace the entire wishbone?

Thanks!

As far as I know ( from what's on my Bravo) the lower ball joint is replaceable. You cut/drill out the rivets that hold the original one on; the replacement usually comes with bolts that replace the rivets.

But you really have to look at your car because i know the Bravo is somewhat based on the Stilo and they share a lot of parts, on the Stilo the lower ball joint was not replaceable - you had to replace the whole arm ( but some models did have replaceable ball joints).

So i guess you should go out, turn the wheel all the way o the right or left and just take a look.

If it looks like this one then it's not replaceable:


If it looks like this it is replaceable :
