197 Lower Ball Joint

[paulb2]

Has anyone actually purchased a lower ball joint (in the hub assembly) rather than having to but the full assembly from Renault? I have searched this forum and 197.net but there are no links to where people have got them.

Any help is much appreciated!

Renault Sport in Wimbledon sell the ball joints as separate items, I believe they are around £60 and they are happy to post the parts out.

failing that, I renewed the near side hub assembly due to a worn lower ball joint aswell, only took a couple of hours to change over.
the hub itself cost £211.

Cheers Kelv, just phoned R Sport and ordered one from them, keep them in stock and was around £39 plus vat.

even cheaper than I thought then, that's uber handy.
I may order one and fit it to the old hub, keep it as a ready spare on the shelf.
