Yeah pretty straight forward, you need to replace the lower arm. 3 bolts, Sir Haynes was a great help to me, well worth the £15! Good for the torque settings too. oh you will need new bolts too.

Yeah pretty straightforward job. how often do you have to change balljoints? I have done it once when I bought the car but how long will they last?
