Been hunting a knocking and creaking noise on the 3200 which only appears at around manoeuvring speed. Myself and two separate garages have come to the conclusion that the most likely culprit is the lower control arm, and from reading this forum I'm aware that the ball joint is a weak spot.
1) Am I correct in thinking that the 4200 arms are a direct replacement (they seem some what cheaper and more readily available than the 3200 arms)?
2) If yes, are these the correct arms here (Part No: 186676) http://www.eurospares.co.uk/searchResult_one.asp?S=186676&TM=3&TMo=380&TA=1&TB=20160
I'll also replace the upper bushes whilst I'm at it just to complete the picture. I've already replaced the anti roll bar bushes and the drop links so hopefully this will nip the noise in the bud!
Cheers
