Lower ball joints on ebay... by SpruceGoose on Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:50 pm
Just a warning really.. I orded a set of these other day. Came straight from taiwan, not so much 'St Andrews, Fife, United Kingdom'.

Anyway, fitting went as well as fitting a lower ball joint goes. But, it would of gone a good bit quicker if the bolts that came with the joint weren't made of butter. Ended up using the bolts that came off, which isnt the best of practice..

They do have greasy nipples though which is always a silver lining 8)

Those in the photo are not the grease nipple type. :D
Milners ones I fitted didnt have the bolts with them, so I had to refit the old ones too.
