My lovely S3 has failed it's MOT on a worn steering bottom UJ. While I'm replacing this I thought I would tackle the top UJ and the steering bush.
Where is the cheapest place I can get these from including bolts etc...
I have a bible which seems to describe what I need to do but I have also noticed a lot of previous discussions. Has anyone out there got any good advice from past experience ?

Chris,
I did mine recently. Got the b/head bearing, housing and plastic insert, plus a new UJ, from tvrcarparts.com.
The bearing housing they supplied is a pukka turned alloy jobby - much better IMO, than the sad looking plastic thing that it replaced.
I found I needed 5 off new M5 x 40mm bolts and new nyloc nuts to attach the new housing to the bulkhead.
Just be aware there is more than one type of bottom (rack end) UJ.
