Alfa 147 wishbones

[oldmanbm]

Needing a second car I bought a clean Alfa 147 1.6 TS Lusso 2003 vintage for the grand total of £250. It had 8 months MOT and needed a wheel bearing. An afternoon fixed that and I Have to say the wee car is a joy to drive with a responsive engine and sharp handling. Over the last few months I have noticed an increasing rattle coming from the front driver's side particularly on bad roads. Ah ah the dreaded wishbone problem methinks so off to the land of the bay to check out kits. The car will need MOT in June so my intention is to treat in to new upper and lower wishbones but why oh why do the kits vary so much in price? It's a cheap car and buying a cheap kit seems appropriate but am I missing something?
