Front ball joints and Gaiters

Postby colingray » Fri Oct 30, 2015 12:10 pm

Hi I have just MOT'D my series 3 etype which had a full suspension rebuild last year pre MOT this included powder coated wish bones all new ball joints and poly bushes etc, I now have ball joint play after just about 1500 miles and the new ball joint gaiters are about to fall apart, they look very perished and severely cracked.
Has anybody any idea where I can get some decent ball joint kits and gaiters from please?
Last ones supplied by S and G Barratt
Thank you in advance

Are you talking about the play being in the bottom ball joints or both top and bottom?

I always use Lemforder joints. These are OE manufacturers. Barratt's sell these but they also sell a cheap alternative which are not very good.
