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!

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

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!

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.
