    If you have the pressed steel arms you can upgrade these to cast ones. THis improves the feel and handling considerably IMHO.
    I found the best price for these was from quattro corner where they came out at £100 each IIRC. You could do worse then giving them a call.

            My wish bone arms where replaced by previous owner as they were NG but cast vs steel ?
            They only reason I ask is that I am in engineering in the car industry and the difference between cast and steel is vastly different depending on cast properties and steel tension / yeild.
            Can't see how cast is an upgrade to steel ?

              Cast arms do not flex whereas steel ones can - and they are stronger.
              Maybe my bushes were worn, but changing the arms (which obviously include new and bigger bushes) definitely made a difference to both how the car felt and handled.
