the only mod is widening the bottom balljoint hole, to the correct size taper. I forget the exact dimensions, but if you search, dont believe the
first thing you read. It is often misquoted.
Allegedly, mk2 astra ball joints fit straight into the sierra hub.

It sure is!
The taper is 1:8 which works out to 7.125016°. If you machine or ream the hole so the major diameter is Ø17.3mm you'll be good to go.
