The balljoints in my AU 1 need replacing.
I'm after some advice as to what balljoints should I buy. Are there any aftermarket items that are better than the factory replacements, or are the factory replacements as good as any of the other products that are available? Thanks |

I think GK had his done at Pedders. He bought the set from Bayford and saved quite a bit on what Pedders charge for the ball joints.
If you PM him I am sure he will give you all the details and costs. |

Yep get on ebay and purchase the full set of 4 for $110 off bayfords, that's what i did and then fitted them myself, there not hard as long as you have a large press and my CNC workshop to make press tools in. otherwise pedders said like $20 each to press in and out if you bring the arms in

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll go buy the set from Bayford.
I'll let you know how I go with the job. |
