Can you replace the ball joint or is it a full wishbone?

Phase 1.5 T4 2000 year W reg??

It is possible to change just the balljoint and it is available from PFV but for the extra time and effort most people recommend changing the arm.

sorry, but that doesnt mean a thing. the cj joint for my car wasnt available from volvo separately. got it from elsewhere and it doesnt take a mechanic to see theres no safety issues with a separate cv joint. i know of another item which is available separetely that volvo doesnt stock. it just boils down to volvo having a crap parts list.

It's all well and good until the joint which presses into a broached hole a SECOND time comes loose , it cant fall out but never the less a safety issue ... That is the reason it isn't available separatly . any litigation won't be the suppliers problem but the person's who fitted it ..

a garage will be needed to fit it, if they can get hold of it and fit it then its covered if its a legit garage. im just correcting your reasons for suspicion
