Just been to my local vx to get 2 ball joints and he stated not available from him or from germany.

Can anybody recommend where to get some from.

Delphi from local factors... I pay £11 ea, and my local place whilst convenient is on the pricey side

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Got some genuine GM ones if you want them for £40 for the pair. part number 90512982. Can get cheaper, of course, but these being GM are v v good quality. About £40 each brand new.

I was going to get Ocap from CP4L or ECP about £11 each or they have Lemforders for about £20 each.

Try All German.

Do yours need replacing though? Or do you want to just do the lot?

It was a just in case needed.

If you're refurbishing them be prudent to obtain a pair, and drill the rivets out whilst they're off...

If current ones are sound, refit with bolts ready for when they need doing, or fit new and keep old ones as spares

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Completely refurbed my cheap n cheerful wishbones with Poly bushes, genuine GM rear bushes, coat of protective stone chip paint, fitted to find... wheel wobble!  So managed to find a pair of cheaper than retail balljoints (hence me having a pair of spares) from a Vx dealer, and away I went.

Not saying definitely change your balljoints, just that I did, after I thought there was no need. I thought mine were fine, did everything else, lost a day removing, drilling out the old (which took aaaages!!) and fitting the new (which took seconds) plus the repaint of the wishbone, after the drill / angle grinder slipped a few times etc..

Ok. If not needed I can give you the money for them, if you prefer. Although testing as described will work.

Then again, if it's apart may as well wack em on

Could use the early BJ, 90512982, 45 showing at Luton Warehouse but he is right the later one is NLS.

Not sure if there is a difference beteen the two as the complete wishbones all go over to the same number so the pin os the BJ must be the same, could the the bolt holes are different between tye two
