Waiting for stock to arrive at Euro for the above arms, I have spoke to them over the phone but they can't give me any answers on delivery times.

I have found some TRW arms in stock at a Porsche specialist but they are more expensive than the Euro ones by a fair bit, Ebay traders also have no stock, despite having the listings up, anyone shine any light on the situation, is this a common issue, do they ever get stock in? Thanks in advance.
 
How much are they from the specialist?

Supply and demand rules the price, TRW wont give an ETA on them. how many do you need?
 
£380 for the kit, its about £100 more than Euro. I need 1 but would look at changing the front 2 together. I have looked at Hartech but want to change the ball joint's as well, do they change them during the refurb process?

Plan on changing the front 2 together.
 
I have contacted that ebay seller and hes going to get back to me when he has them in stock, the delivery estimate gives the game away.
 
How hard is it to change the bushes rather than replacing the whole arm? Presumably it's the bushes which go, and so I'd have thought that replacing them rather than the whole arm would be significantly more cost effective....?

I did a how to video last year, but have a fire extinguisher handy.

 
Update, Hartech does include the ball joint replacement on their refurb arms. I have however gone for the Design911uk.co.uk kit at £381 inc delivery and Vat, I just can't stand the creaking any longer.

Thanks to all for the comments, great video of the bush changes. Pity about your crank though, what a mare.

If they are then that is v expensive!.
 
Just a point to be aware of when fitting Meyler arms and not TRW arms that the Meyler arms are a gnats shorter in length and consequently reduce the camber setting when fitted ... According to the man who knows about these things having fitted mine for me and re done my geo setup .
