failed mot again!
offside front suspension joint has excessive play in a lower suspension ball joint!

any one know were i can get one and how much roughly, or any other cars share same ball joint? like bluebird?

[northerner]

they are quite cheap. I just got a pair of someon on hear for £15. They are about £18 each and takes about an hour to do each side if you have a press that is! They need pressing out of the bottom arm and then pressing back in

[s13eater]

your local motor factors pcs keeps them in and is about 30seconds from your house.
