Some say if new and old arms are mixed, the new ones will wear quicker.
When I'm doing it properly I will normally change all of them, because its a false economy not to. Right now on this one I want to get it through an MoT with the minimum expenditure of time and cash so I can drive it about and see what else it needs, hence fitting a single used arm.

It will get a full set of Meyle HD in due course, but since the other pinch bolt is stuck thats an extra load of work that doesn't need doing for the specific target at this point.

Not the usual approach, but this is not a usual project
