Stirls - 21/10/17 at 04:16 PM

Am looking at doing the lower ball joint with a push in or screw in ball joint but struggling to fine and weld on sleeves and ball joints.

Am going to do it from scratch have all the rose joints for the arms just struggling with the ball joints for the uprights am using the Mazda Mx5 ones if that helps.

Thanks Paul

What's wrong with using the standard MX5 joints? Pointless reinventing the wheel.

And if I've understood what you're trying to do, you don't want to put bending loads through screw threads e.g. rod ends if you can help it.

Nothing wrong with the standard bottom joint, just we it as is.

Then if needs be its simple to replace.
