Ball joints!

[poorpeet]

The Chimaera alternative parts list shows the bottom joint as coming from a Lada Niva & the top from a Saab 900.
Can anyone out there confirm that these are correct & work?
Cheers & Happy Christmas

Sounds right, why not buy them through a good indie/specialist - they know the right parts and won't charge you an arm and a leg?? (Peninsula, Austec etc. etc.)

Thats correct, but its hard to find the lower ones that don't need the holes reaming out slightly.

Yes top from a Saab 900.....but it appears that there are two variants. One has a wider casing for the "ball" and as a result the full camber adjustment is not possible because it fouls the wishbone. The correct one for my car was a "Delphi TC 125" as supplied by David Batty.

More than two varients (bought four the other day for something else and had three different variations all with the same part number! To be honest either chcek when you buy or get them from TVR source of your choice.
