Can anyone help out with identifying these ball joints. I will put a pic in my archive as I still can't get pics in my posts after a couple of years trying.
TIA

don't what's so difficult about putting a pic in?

just use the attach picture browser thing and select the pic from your c: drive

anyway sorry don't recognise that ball joint

Well I could say what's so difficult repairing a fractured femur. But that may not help.
My first post contains the url of the image on this site with the two img dodahs in square brackets, one with the / and nothing shows.
Things always seem difficult if you're doing them wrong and I obviously am!
I don't have a 'browse' box at the bottom as I am writing this post. Have to click on the image icon next to the email and hyperlink icons and then naff all happens.

ok then look at this -

you may want to delete this post and do it again as I seem to have rather mucked up your first one, sorry...

but at least you get a chance to do the pic thing

do yo know what - i have been posting on here for ages, and i have never noticed that "Browse" button!

my posts have always been a slog of uploading, viewing, copying the url and adding an image!!!

now i know better :-)

They look at lot like those found in Lancia Thema/Fiat Croma/Alfa 164/SAAB 9000 form the late 80's early 90's

Not dissimilar to VW Golf bottom ball joints, they use 8mm bolts to secure them . Difficult to tell the bolt size in the picture.

I Think they remind me of vauxhall baljoints, possibly cav mk2.
Not 100% sure but i used that type for my inital suspention try and it looks similar, even the sizes seem similar between bolts.

They're very like Audi 80 ones too.

Look on ebay there is one on there, does look similar.

Thanks everyone. Comparing to Cav ones on ebay they certainly look the same. Depends on hole spacing and taper but looks right.

hmmm,

Porsche 911 turbo 93-97
Peugeot partner >96
renault trafic >2000
VW-golf IV= Seat Leon >99= new beetle
Saab 9-5>97
Vauxhall/Opel Vectra A,B Omega B

Good luck, try on scrappy?
