Ball joint that fits?
 

Anyone recommend me a front bottom arm ball joint?

Just bought a Firstline one (FBJ5140), diameter is too small to press in!

Should fit! Have you cleaned out the whole of rust and crud etc

Its not that it's too tight, it's that it's too loose meaning it would prolly fail MOT. Have just ordered a Dehphi one to see if it's any better.

H'mm sounds like it been off before! I think you now may have two options, get another arm or stick some tack welds on it :cool:

Fear you might be right, it had a nyloc nut on it for a start....but it was proper shagged, like 25 years of use shagged so who knows. Might have to consult my mammoth Silviagod service history :P

Ok, Delphi joint just arrived (TC319) and it (press) fits perfectly. Although it has a grease nipple, old skool!

Where did u order it from bud? Need to do mine soon.

Fleabay, was the cheapest one too! Seller was "doctor_car" in Nottingham. I'd ring round your local factors first mind as they don't keep em on the shelf.

the last one i got was from my local motor spares, it was ordered specially, but came from Nipparts or soming like that.

fitted perfectly.
