Help with part for MOT

[scoey1001]

Hi, looking for some help finding the correct part for the following;

Offside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn rear bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))

Car is a 2008 Corsa YP08 NBD. Trying to find what i need on eurocarparts but no joy.

Thanks

Depends what is worn on insepction? Most likely you'll have to swap the arms rather than just replacing a bush

It's the rearmost bush on the lower front arm. While you probably can get an individual one, it's easier to just replace the entire arm.

Thank you both. Its for my stepson and money is tight. looks like £56 for the arm. Do you know how i could go about finding out the correct bush so i can get a price? assume labour would be the same.

No, the labour would be the labour for the arm to be removed and refitted, plus the labour to fit the bush into the arm.

If you're paying someone to do it, just swapping the arm is likely to be more cost effective.

Looks like this one... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133710104794?fits=Car+M...

But I would change the arm personally, you'll find the garage labour might be more as they'll have to press in and out rather than just drop the arm and refit the new one

Understood. Mobile mechanic will do it for £89 parts and labour so think that's fairly decent. Thanks again for the help, much appreciated.

This is the last Corsa bottom arm I did, the bush was so rotten it fell out;

Just replace the entire arm.

Yes. Replace whole arm. Next year it'll be the ball joint or the other bush that needs replacing.
