One of the bro here introduce to me. They never any how chop ppl. So far i see the price is reasonable overall :) I guess this is part and parcel of owning an Alfa.......the parts fail quite easily! My fuel pump up lorry = towing (4AWD ..cost more to tow also) + fuel pump = nearly $900 I think what is important is to find a good workship who will not CHOP carrot and have the professionalism. Lucky found one, else I think i need to sell the car like you lol. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonCapique 1st Gear August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 Need some help here. The ball joint on my front lower arm is shot. Went to a workshop and they are suggesting me to change out both lower arm. Is this necessary? 1) can the ball joint be change out from the arm? 2) necessary to change out both front lower arm? I dont think so is ball joint. Maybe the Bush.some replace with the whole lower arm rather than replace the aftermarket bush Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonCapique 1st Gear August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 Today station at red light, when green light i start to move, the car reverse instead of going forward. My gear is at drive mode. Almost hit the car behind. try to engage the gear to D mode but keep on show neutral. On/off a few times, than back to normal gear and start moving forward. Give me a shock at that moment. Anyone experience this before? Maybe the reason is because of the wiring at the selespeed sensor due to the water during heavy rain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiex 2nd Gear August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 I dont think so is ball joint. Maybe the Bush.some replace with the whole lower arm rather than replace the aftermarket bush Turns out it is the ball joint, and the rubber bushing around it is all gone Unfortunately its designed not to be replaceable, so got to change out the whole lower wishbones. With the front wishbones changed, the drive improved. It is now firmer and is less jerky and feels like a new car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
