172 cup ball joint?

[Jay.S]

I have some play in one of my ball joints and looking at changing them both next weekend is this the right part:-

My wheel alignment is way off steering wheel is currently pointing at around 1oclock when on the motorway so hopefully renewing these and getting the tracking sorted will put it back to normal.

Cheers

 

[Jay.S]

Anyone?

Afaik that is the right one, 1*2s need the 12 bolt which that says it has.

 

[Jay.S]

Are the Lemforder ones any better I have seen them mentioned before:-

Don't buy the cheaper ones from ecp the bolts are awful I torqued them up and the thread went through.

Lemforder did OEM parts for pug and Citroen also some Renault parts, I've just replaced mine they are top notch.
Also I had 12mm bolt rather than 10mm for non-sport

I normally use Lemforder or Delphi

 

[Jay.S]

Cheers I will get the Lemforder one.

Dan would you say a separator tool is worth the money?

Yeah I used TEST31 to get 31% off it may have expired now but worth a try.

No problem might be worth me buying them now then. I recieved a email saying the TEST31 code is ending so today may be the final day.

Sorry to bump this, but just want to say thanks for asking all the questions I need answering! Planning on little a suspension overhaul. Out of interest did the track rod ends and ball joints work okay?
