I sourced some lower front ball joints from my local car parts dealer. I was informed that the ones that came off the car were Lada ball joints. When I got them home the hole centres were different to mine...Looking at the reference book the upper and lower joints for the Lada look the same..
Can anyone shed some light on the matter/ part numbers etc?
Thanks

Had the same problem myself. Was told you need to re-engineer the wishbone, moving the 'bolt tubes'. I bought some Ball joints from Clever Trevor (about £24 each) which lined up perfectly. www.clevertrevor.co.uk

I don't which are the correct fitment, but get it right - it's scary and dangerous if you get 'em wrong: click.
