if he meant wish bones, if there bent then your tracking will be way off and give you really bad tyre wear, steering round corners will be a c*nt. if he meant your steering rack arms itl be a fll steering rack replacement, and your steering will be shot, if he means driveshafts, if it snaps youl have no drive, if its bent youl end up poppin it out and it hitting and rippin something off

i guess you mean drive shaft, and they do pack up altogether sometimes, but if you dont thrash the balls of it and just do loads of tootling about you should be fine until you get to a garage.

go to scrappies mate, and if its the brackets for the bushes then you should get one for next to nothing but if its the ball joint then go to unipart or dingbro if there near you mate, there pretty easy tbh

tbh i have no idea cause its never done it on me, take a picture of what it is and put it up so i can have a look and il be able to tell you, you might be able to get away wi it just dont hit bumps when your driving and dont put the foot down, you might have bad steering though,

ahh you'l be alright with the anti roll bar, if you want to try and find one of a diesel corsa they're alot thicker than that on the SRI's and GSI's and if you want bushes then you can get them of ebay, orr you could get polly bushes for the anti roll bar of ebay also.

Re: driving arms loose parts on way can driving arms go full
thats to do with bad wheel balancing, when it gets wobbly and then when you go faster it disappears its the same principle as when a lady sings and hits that exact note that a glass will smash, but if its anything over or anything under it it wont smash, like your wheels any speed over or any speed under it wont vibrate.
