front suspension ball joints
chubby - 20/5/03 at 07:45 AM

Can any one please tell me where i can get the 2 different ball joints for the front suspension on the indi. One is like a normal stearing ball joint with a male thread, and the other is a ball joint mounted on a plate. i have never seen these before.
Thanks in advance

The top wishbone B/J is a transit drag link end(sorry i have no part number)i got mine from lolocost £8 a pair and £2 for the lock nuts.
The bottom B/J is from an austin maxi,Mine came from http://www.partsforoldercars.co.uk
Or phone 01623 658041

lolocost can be found on http://www.lolocost.co.uk
the top ball joints are probably lolocosts best product IMO for the money they want ,the rest of there products are a bit iffy.

MK do a ball joint set for £47! i have ordered one with my kit maybe thats not in the spirit of Locosting though!

Well thats only £7 more than i paid elsewhere and at least you know they will fit the intended parts,good price IMO.

i didnt think it was too bad and didnt fancy trying to source them myself! at least now i can get the thing rolling quickly as i have ordered the brake line kit and pedal box too so all Should go smoothly for a while.

Cheers
