Its quite wasy but sometimes when u change the bal joint the new one does not sit tight in the control arm so u have to weld it. And at a next change u hav to chane along with the control arm.

where is the play?if its inside the joint then fit a new one but ive had it before where the play is actually in the hole the balljoint sits in so i just fitted a secondhand arm i had cos it was easier

nah the play is in the balljoint itself as ive had a bar in there.
Just wondered if it was easy to get the ball out and in again with minimal tools and is the rollbar bolt going to snap on me :eek:
