I am in the UK and the car is RHD. VIN is 1C8GHB1R52U503968.
My local garage (not a dealer) believes the problem is a worn balljoint in the wishbone (control arm?) but together we are having difficuly getting a replacement. The ball joint is a tight pressure fit into the wishbone. We did source a replacement but it clearly was undersized as it was a very loose fit. 3 questions really
1. any suggestions as to the source of the correct part?
2. Do I need to get a complete wishbone with ball joint and bushes already fitted?
3. Could the problem be elsewhere in the front suspension?
