Yes, M R Automotive is now making/selling some of the MD range. Some include the ball joints (std and extended) drag and track links, etc

Just replaced my county one yesterday with a nos maxi drive one,the grease nipple hex seemed to jam on the adjustment slot before the thread was tight,so I fitted a longer grease nipple.
I used an old county drive flange(the same one I used to fit hub seals)with an 1 1/8'' socket to press the new one in.
