Hi Green
Here is a site with a zoomable drawing of the whole of the front suspension. This shows the old-type lower ball joint, and also the upper joint that was never adjustable. Lemforder also make a top ball-joint that has no grease nipple as per its lower one, but most upper joints you buy nowadays are sealed with no grease nipple.

Are you going to do any DIY or just leave it to a local shop ? If a shop, then you need one that is happy to work on European cars.

 

Thank you Graham, I appreciate your Forum management. What you ended up with is exactly the way I have it logged in my Word "parts" document. When I buy a part I just copy/paste the name and number right off the venders website. I'll try to just enter the info in this Forum instead of pasting from my Word.

Graham, I just thought through my "stupid formatting" post and then how you explained that this Forum didn't digest Amazon links very well. Please don't think I was referring to the Forums formatting as stupid, I meant MY formatting in Word. I am always having to adjust my Word documents when I copy/paste from other websites. I just figured Amazon still had some kind of hook in the info I copied from my Word to this Forum. Anyway, I didn't want to leave this lay like a skunk in the road if I left the wrong impression, thanks again for your help cleaning up the post.

Sorry for the delay in replying Ian, my attention sp...…..oh look, a shiny thing...…an is not what it used to be.

Yes, they are a direct bolt-in. I remember having to remove a part of the old adjustable joint in the lower arm with a punch and hammer, but wasn't difficult.

The Bushings are shot, now im still trying to locate the Rack Bushing Kit. A member provided a link but I couldn't locate them on that site. Thank you all for your help, still digging through this car to see what else might need attention.

 

you need to call John at John's Cars on the phone and ask for the kit.

 

Thank you very much

 

if John doesn't have a kit ( I doubt it, he invented it ), there are other sources who copied John's kit. My kit is about 20 years old, still like new.
