Knowledge needed... please
Evening all,
I hope you're all well?
I've started to strip the front end of the seven down and I need some help identifying donor parts so I can buy new bearing and the like.
Can anyone tell me what the bottom ball joints are from, what the calipers are off, and therefore what discs are the likely to be? also, what uprights
are they? please help!
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Nah, not Sierra, it's a five stud hub. Granada?

I thought it might be sierra, but then I read somewhere that sierra's only had 4 stud wheel fitment.
So then I wasn't sure.
Thanks,
Chris

As the uprights are 5 stud , maybe Granada based, hubs and brakes

Any ideas about the ball joints? I've searched ebay and I cant find anything that even looks similar.
Thanks for all your replies so far.

Is it possible that the ball joints have been modified? Thinking that maybe they are the book, five bolt Cortina type, with the outer two bolt
mounting points cut off, to make them fit the wishbones.

Just to throw a spanner in the works those could still be Sierra uprights, but from the P100 pick up !!!!
But I'd still opt for Granada as there is a cover plate on the upright that looks like a ABS sensor once lived there, as for brake pads, they
look to have been genuine ford items, if so you could still read the "finis" code on them as it looks to be visible.

Some people can never handle the truth and always try to shoot the messenger instead of taking an honest look in the mirror (its always easier to
blame another than to face reality), but secretly they wish they could grow a pair and be the messenger !!!

They look like calipers off a Scorpio 2.9 with casting numbers 889 and 890 (look next to the hose inlet by the fins). If so, they work with 260mm
diameter 24mm thick 47mm high vented discs.
