Mixed feelings on a Fail on mine..


Headlight Aim too high - they sorted
Nearside Wishbone ball joint has excessive play....and likely cause of my clunk...

So disappointed....but very happy if it sorts my clunk out!

will probably order one of those bolt on replacements, unless im told they are a bad idea?
http://www.allgermanparts.co.uk/ourshop/prod_910689-Lower-ball-joint-Lemforder-14707-01-90-542-995.html

and should I do both? guess not a bad idea?

I notice that razzo has fitted these on his.  :y I will probably go down that route when mine need changing. Can't see why bolts compared to rivets would cause any issues.  :-\

Indeed. No problem at all and you probably won't upset the suspension geometry by just swapping the ball joint.

Think ill get a pair of those joints ordered....need geometry anyway, so may as well be better safe than sorry for the sake of £16

Failed on the opposite side balljoint to mine, and a tyre, which must be lower than I thought....not too bad.

least i ordered a pair of joints!
