172 cup front-end refresh parts

[Darryl_1983]

Can I check I've got the correct part for my 172 cup before ordering with the more knowledgeable people on here?

Firstly, I believe the ARB bushes should be 23mm and 25mm in diameter, but Autodoc lists them as 23.5mm inner and 24mm outer.

Inner bush:

Outer bush:

Next up is the lower ball joints, I believe the main thing here is the bolt size needs to be M12:

Then finally, the wishbone bushes:

Any issues with brands, I've tried to stick to my normal go to brands, but in some cases, there isn't much difference in prices across the board

Thanks

Update on this, I ended up ordering lower ball joints from ECP, as this was causing my front-end knocking noise. Part numbers above are correct.

Also, as I'm having new tyres fitted today, and the tracking was out, I've installed two track rod ends ordered from Amazon. Same part numbers as above, so these are also correct.

I would buy the poworflex arb inner and outer bushes, don't be afraid that the car will feel rough- it isn't. They're just gonna last you a long time- worth it

I've fitted Powerflex arb bushes in the past, and know they're fine. But at £95 for a set versus less than £10 for the Febi ones above, I can't justify the extra cost. Plus, I'm sure the Febi one will likely outlast the time I keep the car. I suspect the ones on it are original and 22 years old now.
