Rimmers are more expensive, but have them in stock and no time limit on returning your old one for refurbishing.
Paddocks one:
Robsport have them under part number 513941:
EJ Wards are out of stock.
It looks like used ones for recon are getting scarce.

it certainly looks like their getting scarce as I had to plead with them to get the part before sending mine back (its a daily car!).
So that's on it's way.
Gentlemen - can you tell me what unusual tools i may require? This is so I can get the old one off quick and send it back (after all, I did plead and they said yes).
Second topic - anyone know where I can get the relays for the lecky windows? LD didn't have them - so they're getting rare. Or is there a more modern way to do it by getting an alternative relay that does the same? I've never worked with relays before so any help would be great.
Sorry for being cheeky and nipping in 2 questions on one thread!!! ;-)Comment

Bl**dy Nora! Fitting the damn thing is not as easy as I'd hope.
I've given up now - 1.40pm
I have to do a bit of whacking with the hammer. At early a.m. time I don't think the neighbours would like it !Comment

I meant 4 a.m. - see what tiredness does?Originally posted by Stimpy View Post
Anyhow - got it all back together so I have a virtual prize to hand out.
(opens golden envelope)
The winners are those who quoted the lower ball joint.
IT IS NOW FIXED !
Thanks a million for all your inputs - I also have a little 'self pride' in that I actually did the thing.
No more wobbly wobbly! Hoorah!Comment

Yea!
Nice one. Well done. It will now be much easier when you come to do the other side

its always worth investing in a big balljoint splitted, a big heavy hammer, and knee pads when doing this sort of job.............Comment

Well I've sorted one - and it drives like a dream. Might do the rest in some time. Why do you think I need to do that?Originally posted by martin View PostHe's right you know ! you can't do one side ! Well done sir, it's immensely satisfying to fix something so important Martin.Comment

Basically because they ought to be in the same state of wear, and it's good practice to do complete axles whether it's suspension, brakes, tyres or whatever.

A combination of how long these things seem to take (double what you expect), hard cold concrete floor, and aging knee joints........... Softy, sensible, I like to be able to walk the following day.

I'll have a good think regarding 'the other side' - you're probably right.
Also the 'rubber bits' could be replaced by poly items as they are getting dry and splittingComment

I thought I'd just add an extra special thanks to all of you because when I started looking after the Stag it was water, oil and tha's about it. My knowledge has rocketed thanks to:-
Wheeler Dealers (TV prog)
Google
Haynes
but most of all.....
you lot!
So thanks once again - the thought of me doing a bespoke split of a ball joint would have meant nothing a yr ago - my confidence is growing and I have you to blame -errrr- I mean thank!!!
