Thank you, i shall have to have a look to see in case they've been previously replaced

EDIT, Are the lower arms different to the lower ball joint, what i mean is, is there something else that the lower ball joints attach to? Damn, still does not sound right, its hard to ask what i mean so i hope you get it? I think i have figured it out, partly, the ball joint end (single nut) goes in to the lower arms, but where i was getting lost is the part where the LBJ bolts on to with the 3 bolts?
