Hi have been reading some old threads about ball joints and limited movement on copy ones, when I looked on race direct they have two an OE one for around £40 and a cheaper one at around £20 , the £20 one sounds better to me but is it okay, has anyone used it or similar?
Thanks Graeme

Call them and speak to Keith. He'll give you an honest answer and tell you what's what.

If you look at photo the main picture and click on it it will open a thumbsnap with a wrong new one and the correct one with extra relief machining.
Ask to speak to the owner of Amsteer tel 01827 61000 who make the balljoints with the required relief (nice chap) he will put you in the picture. I personally wont compramise on parts releating to steering and concidering the threads ive read on PH there are some people who are taking safety risks over pricing.
