Bottom ball joint now a thing of the past :-)

[DF]

After having trouble with the bottom ball joint nut and arm touching my
Discs on hard cornering i have replaced the bottom arm and ball joint
The old set up was at the limits of its travel as i have my car quite low
This is how the ball joint sat on my car and touched the disc on very hard cornering

I have used 5/8 rose joints and solid aircraft quality stainlees steel rod as i wanted strength and reliability over weight saving as i use the car more on the road than track and having to do an emergency stop in the pot holed british roads will give them a beating
I still have a bit of work to do with the spacing of the joints but hope to have it on for coombe



So easy to set your camber up as well

Sods Law though, you design out the one which appears to be in plentiful supply. Can you do something with the top ones next...

The ball joints i have used for the conversion are original rebuildable ones
The repo ones are different inside and have a step in them
There easy to make the only down side is the cost of the rose joints
As i have used the best quality and they are quite expensive
I suppose u could use cheaper ones but how often you would have to change them
I was toying with the idea of using the original inner bush and just using 1 rose joint per arm ..
Sod It
Im going to do a set with the original inner bush as well just to see how they perform
