UJ's Question

[Ballistic Banana]

Right orderd a new upper UJ and went out to change it today but it seems longer than the one on there at the moment. But is the same as the lower UJ.

1 is this the wrong one.
2 If not am i presume that the intermediatte rod will just go in the upper and lower Uj a little more. of course marking them all as said in the Bible.

TIA

At the momentthe inter rod is nearly through the Upper Uj and the lower seems to be halfway through.
The new Uj is the same lenght as the old lower uj which is longer than the old upper uj.

The new one is 10mm longer overall lenght.

Could be that the dealer is right and your car was fitted with the wrong one....

I hope your right.But after 25K would of thought it was the original(cant know for sure)

After speaking to them on the phone they seem to understand as if they had the two different ones in front of him.
It would fit, Just want to make doublerly sure, dont need another accident with my record
