Hey all, As I'm sure most have, I've been looking for info on the dreaded lower ball joint. I've found the Polish eBay guy but heard that R-Sport in Wimbledon do them. Then I just found out they are no more? Is there anywhere else that does them/fits them? I've seen Aarons Autos and sent a couple of messages to Mark at MRS/Bolsover Car Car, but not had a response as yet. Ta! N.
I got mine from the Polish seller as both Aarons Autos and MRS are way to far to travel, SWR changed mine for me last year. The former both do them
Thanks Jamie, I'm hoping MRS get back to me as they are fairly close to me. I'm sure he has a million PM's to go through. Or I'm asking a local garage if they can change them if i get the eBay ones. They understand the strange setup on the RS I have got the right ones here haven't I? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-GENUI...hash=item2c75a633df:m:mNLNrQ5c8H_TsNjKMq_r-sw Regards, Nathan.
Hmmmm, if he combined postage I'd be inclined to order the lot and have them all done too. Can't see the labor being much more whilst they were at it.
Worrying that mine are shot after 19k though! Previous owner must have been an animal, as I've only done 1.5k in the car so far.
Aarons Autos sorted me out for supplying and fitting my lower ball joint. Great bunch of guys. They even dropped me down to the shopping centre while i waited Couldn't recommend them enough!
That's good to know. They are definitely on my list, but would prefer a local place to avoid a couple of hundred miles if I can get the same guarantee Aarons give.
Creaking or knocking noise when turning at slow speed. Uneven wear on the front tyres (mine wore on the inside). I also found that it pulled off to the side under hard acceleration.
Wht happened with R.Sport in Wimbledon? They ordered a sensor in for me and said they are closing for a few weeks for refurbishment so I decided to get it done after.. but they seem to have closed down lol
Yes, R-Sport have now closed their workshop, carrying on supplying motorsport parts only. Top Mechanic just in the process of setting himself up as an independent specialist, see my post in dealer and specialist section on here.
