K11 lower control arm replacement

[nickrose137]

Hi all, usual apologies if this has been covered before.  Daughter's 2002 K11 has passed the MoT with advisories:  wear in both the front suspension lower balljoints.  I've heard it's easier to replace the whole lower arm - looks a straightforward job despite being graded as "3 spanners" in the Haynes manual.  I'd be interested to hear of any snags or "traps for the unwary" from anyone who's done the job.  Thanks and Merry Christmas, Nick

Seem to recall replacing an arm on a K1 in the past and there was nothing untoward with the procedure.

Let us know how it goes when you get underway

Cheers,   Trevor
