The ball joint we have now decided to use is much more easy to obtain, less expensive, but most of all it looks better ;-)
We are very happy to offer a safety check if any of you are at all worried about the wishbone/suspension components supplied in your kit. We will freely replace any of those components any hint of faultiness :-)
Kind Regards

I’ve been in correspondence with Terry and Mark Mathews over the replacement of my front lower suspension arms.
Mark has now clarified that there is a “minimal” charge to customers for replacing the older type suspension arms like the one above that broke.
I had misunderstood their post to imply that this was a free upgrade.
To avoid any confusion, I would suggest anyone requesting replacement arms should first clarify the price of upgraded arms plus bushes and balljoints if they need replacing.
cheers, Peter
