    Front lower wishbones

    I have a feeling mine are knackered. 18 years old and never been changed.

    Question is where can I get a set for decent money? Which ones are good? Or should I polybush?

    For a road car just polybush them and fit new Moog ball joints. Clean them up first with a wire brush and give them a lick of paint with something half decent, even hammerite.

    Bushes wise I used energy suspension for my rear arm bushes and they fit perfectly and are great quality. Better than the driftworks tat. I ordered from the states, they also sell MOOG ball joints on the same site.

    If you’re doing new ball joints and inner bushes then the nismo arms may be worth looking in to. No idea on current prices though

    Moog balljoints, I got mine from Rockauto across the pond. I've got Driftworks bushes in mine and they're fine, but there are better quality bushes out there.

    Thanks bud but they look like mega bucks! Will see if I can get them cheap then might go that route save mucking about that's for sure.

    Good shout with rockauto. I have ordered from them before and they deliver.

    Don't happen to have the part numbers for the ball joints do you? Are they K9820?

    I see they also sell the energy bushes.

    It's tricky know if they are the correct parts as they have 1998 200sx 2.0 L4 whatever that means and 240sx 2.4 L4 and under both listings when I look at the complete control arm it looks nothing like it should :/

    K9820 moog joints, garage d stock them at £40 each last time i checked works out about the same coming from usa plus the risk of taxes, but if you buy bushes too its probably worth it. i used energy suspension bushes all round and bought from frsport

    Thanks for confirming Mike. Yeah think I will get the energy bushes and moog ball joints all from rock. There weren't any additional charges last time I ordered from them.

    I was just about to say be careful with the part number, because the American 200sx is a totally different car.
