Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hi

After fitting new tyres, the alignment guys said I needed these to be done.

2 rack ends
2 Tie rod ends
Upper control arm bushes

They said they had to replace the entire control arms as the agents did not sell them separately.

My question:

Where in Durban is the best place to have this done?
Can you find replacements for just the bushes and not the entire control arm?

Much appreciate the advice in advance.

Cheers

Hi

Yes, dealers will want to sell you the whole arm and its not cheap. I ordered mine from Ebay and then took out the arms myself to somebody to push them in. It was a one day job and my car was back on the road. Tirods are available to Interspares. Its better to take a sample though when you go get them. I've use Interspares in PMB.

Thanks Simphiwe - that will help.

Do they come in a kit for both sides?

Yes they come in a kit but make sure that they are indeed for the upper arms as they are very smilar to the bottom ones except for the slight size difference. I will check if i dont have a link to the shop that sold them to me on Ebay , but i think it was Febest Parts in Latvia. Very efficient.

I had a set of the top ones which i gave away to a Mitsu friend in Joburg (got two delieveries of the same for free). Please do not try the polyutherane ones if you like your comfort!

At Interspares tirods can be bought individually but im sure you can get them in a set too.

Thanks for your feedback.
