Ball joints needed

[David Ramsey]

I'm trying to find somewhere that sells ball joints for a ph1 172.

I tried my local motor factors but they don't do them.

Does anyone know anywhere that sells these as renault don't sell the ball joints seperate.

I'm not a tight arse who won't buy a full bottom arm, I have a plan.

They may sell um as they sell um for the 182

Do a search there's a thread with a link somewhere or take it to an independent garage mine was 60 quid fitted.

I'm not tight enough to buy second hand lol

I will try a garage if I don't get a one myself but I don't need it fitted as I have everything else off the car ready to fit it up

Our local motor factors sell them for a 172, we try to fit complete arms, but someone just wanted joints a couple of months ago! about £8 each!

as above i went on eddies advice and bought the whole lower arm

if the inner bushes are OK and you only need to replace the balljoint, why spend £50 on a new arm when you can buy a balljoint for less than a tenner? i know what i'll be doing once mine start knocking.

can you buy the bushes separately btw?

 

[David Ramsey]

Well I have some bottom arms but I wanted to replace everything so I've had them powder coated and fitted polyflex bushes so the ball joints are the last bit I need before I can fit them

I got 2 today from Euro Car Parts, had to take the 1st lot back cause they were slightly different. All fitted now though

Which ones did you order from Euro car parts, i couldnt find them anywhere?

I've forgot now mate, they had both in stock though. Might be best to get both and take back the ones you don't need
