I ordered mine from ebay but with customs and the 5 week waiting period you may as well get from the delaers. I only saved about R150 and ended up waiting 5 weeks to save on R150.
Other than that take them off and take to your local spares shop. Maybe they can find a similar setup from another vehicle.

I bought mine from Mitspro . Think it was R450 a piece.

I got a set from MasterParts (021 - 957 5757) here in CT, about R 350 for the front set IIRC. Stealers are about R 425 ea....

Hi bernard
It is easy to do but you need to either have both front wheels off the ground or loosen the stabilizer bar (which is under the upper bash plate) because if one wheel is up and the other down the stabilizer bar is under torsion(twisting) and you cannot fit or remove the links. All in all for a ham fited novice it should take about 2.5 hous if you are really slow. I needed to remove my tyre to get the the lower nuts on the control arm.
You need a jack, and vehicle stand (preferably 2) to rest the vehicle on while working on it, and a couple of spanners (17mm IIRC) and some allen-keys to keep the ball joint fron spinning while tightening or loosening the nuts on the links.
