Classic ball joints

#1 by Marty03 , Fri Sep 11, 2015 10:14 am

Hi all,

Where are you guys getting your suspenssion ball joints from?

There seems to be a big price gap. I've just been stung 27 quid for 1 lower ball joint. You can get a complete set for both sides for 40 on the bay. I know they will be poor quality, but sometimes you can get a deal.

What are the good makes of parts to look for please?

I use milners and they seem to work, good bit of stress on them with bj spacers and off roading I guess but I change them every 2000 km or so.

Just make sure they check they have nipples on them when ordering becouse even if they have on the picture U can get without.
