 you cant beat them for price, but when you have to replace ebay (egay) wishbones every 6 months because there crap quality it works out cheaper to get an OEM one

No you could just get one wishbone if you want
The drop link is not connected to the wishbone so changing it would only be worth while if it knackered

Its not too difficult. Can be a bit of a fiddle to get the ball joint back in the hub correctly.
Remove wheel
Remove ball joint to hub bolt.
Getting the wishbone out of the hub is hard work. Keep belting it with a hammer / get a big bar on it to get it out the hub.
Remove two female torque bolts from the subframe and try to push the hub / driveshaft out the way to get the bolts out. In future just put the bolts up the way as its then easy to do next time. If you cant get them out or enough clearance then its a driveshaft out job.
Remove old wishbone.
Insert new wishbone.
Put bolts in subframe but dont fully tighten.
Line up ball joint in the hub and jack that end up into the hub.
Look closely into the hub hole. The ball joint has a slotted section that the bolt will fit in. If the ball joint is not in enough it wont fit. If the ball joint is in too much it wont fit either.
Refit hub bolt
Refit wheel
JOB IS A GOOD ONE
