Hi there,
Little Wedge is in the MOT garage at the moment and they say that it needs a new ball joint on one end of the steering rack. Anyone know what it is from. (My notes seem to indicate either a Cortina MK IV or Granada MK II.)
My car is a 350i FHC+2.
Also, anyone have an idea of a good source for the part?

Help much appreciated since the garage find tracing parts for older cars very difficult :-(
Thanks.

Says here that they're Unipart GSJ119 as fitted to a Mk2 Granada - should be available from any motor factors.

Edited to add that the Quinton Hazell book lists it as a QR1384S

Thanks for the help.
The garage have tried a couple of bits, with no luck (but I think they were looking at Escort stuff - even though we said Cortina and Granada).
Will give them the part numbers. So hopefully they will get on the right track. (No pun intended!)
Cheers,
Nadeem
