One small notice: these ball joints are from Saab and are not used for the early MK IV's as you can see here:

Nik, you are a rich man. Calling £29.96 each +VAT cheap.

   Oh I laughed out loud!!!
   I`ve been called MANY things, but rich was never one of them!!! [:D][:D][:D]
   
   I do, however, have experience of fitting the cheapest parts* (coz I ain`t rich, and I`m the son of a Yorkshireman, who make the Scots` reputation for tightness appear generous!), and yes, I saw copy parts even cheaper than those, but I wouldn`t EVER fit them to one of your cars!!! [xx(]
   
   (Oh, and if you buy the TWR ones on eBay, the £29.96 appears to include VAT AND shipping...[;)])
   
   
   *£100 for an entire VW front suspension, compared to £500+ (or £1100 fitted!!!) from V.A.G, but was shot within 10,000 miles!

Maybe the increased grip of modern tyres like the Avon ZZ, increases lateral loads on suspension parts.

Hi Jim, I remember well (i'm younger [;)] !) you told me it was the rs ball joint (and you asked here for that in an old thread) ...
   
   @Flyinghorse : To me, it was the ball that popped out, or the thread that broke... What I recall is that the nut was still in place, with a part of the tapped part . And the upright was intact. It is strange that i can't find any pic, as I thought that I took some...

Yute' isn't wasted on the young!

[French Frie]

Ahahah ... In French, we say : "Si jeunesse savait, si vieillesse pouvait" (can be translated : "If youth knew, if old age could") [;)]

[jbottini]

Sounds good in either language

[cobham cobra]

Pleased to hear you're OK and your car is back on the road. Black is a big improvement - but then I would say that, I'm biased.

[jbottini]

All well and good, but it was the ORIGINAL COLOR.

I like Red Hair in her body tight black dress :-)
