The ball joints are not replaceable on the scorpio. Thats why we all by complete arms..

Yes I'll be surprised too ???,    Nope,  it's   one  heavy  complete  unit,     variously  £80-100  per wishbone  depending  on supplier.

As the mechanic just said to me "You were right, it's the whole wishbone".  About £100.

Sorry guys :( :(.

Get it back tomorrow.  Expect around £200 for this one and just paid out £600 for the wife's Bravo MOT.  Just paid insurance and Tax due at end of month.  Misery  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
