cheers steve, is a top ball joint the same as top suspension joint?

[Steve_D]

Yes the top joint is in the top rocker arm and is in effect the swivel for the steering.
The joint is a Transit track rod end so just go into your local motor factors and ask for Quinton Hazell part QR1408RHT. It's the same number both sides.
You could buy them from us but it's not fair on you to have to pay postage and our time for something you can get locally.

Cheers

Big plus to you for customer consideration ,it does not happen very often

[kevinarbury]

steve, you are a legend!!!!

iv passed that info onto my mechanic who is now ordering them up!

the other thing i need to sort and again you may probably know, he has told me that i need to find is a shaft for the steering , between rack and steering column, he mentioned something to do with a universal joint etc...does this mean anything to you?

hope you can help...again!

cheers buddy,

I am building a special using some Tiger parts and the running gear from a Turbo MX5 and these guys did me a very good deal on the parts.
I have nothing to do with them except as a well looked after customer.
Hope the business is going well chaps.
