    The bottom one is called Peter.
    The top one is Mildred
    If you want both just order Mr & Mrs Balljoint

    Hope that helped.

    bob will believe me he is not that quick:thumbsup:
     
  8. if you order a Lower Balljoint, it should come with everything you'll need ...old one needs to be pressed out and the new one pressed in...they can be tough going without a press (cue disparaging remarks from everyone who's done it with an old socket and a vice....)

    If you mean the large suspension balljoint (your pic is crap Ken), you need to remove the shock, remove the anti roll bar, split upper and lower ball joints, catch the hub/brakes and rest on something, remove the upper torsion arm, THEN take it somewhere with not only a press, but the right collet to take the pressure on just the 2 little tab holes used for lining them up.

    i have read up and remember trying one years ago on old car and was quite hard to get in ended up getting it pressed in on a press it was like a hydrulic press .
    thank you for your help :thumbsup:

    jesus! i've done all mine at techenders, once you work out how to do them it really is easy - cost me about £6 per boot, make sure they note the position of the ball joint - it's eggshaped and affects the camber if not put back the same way (there's a little dent knocked into it so you can put it back the same place)
