Bottom arms

Replaced my lower arms this morning and a rear hub bush glad I did it on a ramp they can't be easy to do on the drive!!!
Need to do a 4 wheel alignment but the one at work some idiot dropped one sensors.

Nice, I had most of the front off today for various checks and did have a good look at the lower arm. Agreed that it doesn't look that great to do on a driveway. Ordered Drop links and checked them today and not convinced they are the issue now, Doh!

Make much of a difference to the drive of the car?

It feels a lot tighter as such on front one of my arms had play in ball joint and the inner front bushes had had it.
I fitted genuine arms got them from alternative autos £224 he waived the postage as I bought a pair had Alfa part numbers on them I've used them before seems mad they get them cheaper than a mate of mine who works at an Alfa dealer!!

Lower arms are fine on the driveway with decent axle stands and a 'proper' trolley jack

I don't doubt it's possible it's just so much easier on a ramp.
I did a clutch on the floor the other day not a gta but a diesel mpv just harder to do things that appear easier on a ramp.

Alfa dealers don't get a very good deal on parts prices from the UK HQ, you need to go to Italy and buy in bulk to get the best prices.
