Hi guys, I've got an occasional knock from front left corner .After taking the wheel off there is play in the bush on the lower control arm nearest the front bumper. I've added a picture. There is no play in the lower or upper ball joint but I think the control arm will have to come off to press out the knackered bush, will it not? Is it worth getting the lower ball joint changed at the same time?
Does anyone have a part number or proper name for the knackered bush in the picture
Cheers, Alastair

I'd change the whole arm, found one here but there maybe cheaper ones:

 
I changed the whole arms on mine as well. If you are doing this yourself, it might be worth getting some new bolts for that bush.
They can seize in the chassis and can be troublesome to remove.

Thanks for that. I'm going down the new arm route. Where can I get new bolts from? I'm planning to get Fahad's mechanic to do a list of work, but I have to supply the parts
Cheers
 
Honda are the best place to get them from IMO.
