Hi all,

My mechanic has just told me that my front left lower ball joint is stuffed. Just wondering where would be a good place to get a replacement?

you need to buy the complete lower control arm.

Look in the for sale section for cars being wrecked or put an ad in wanted to buy. Check that the bushes and ball joint are in good nick.

when they are stuffed , the ball can pull out, so look to replace it asap

If you have replaced the airbags with springs you can purchase a new LCA from the US. The US LCA does not have the tab for airbag suspension height controller.

good point Jan, michael if you still have airbags, the LCA must be for a UZZ31. If no airbags, the LCA can be off any soarer, V8 or TT
