Hi all,

So i have this vibration that gets quite bad around the 100km/h mark. After having a look i can see that most, if not all, of my ball joints are shagged. So, i need to replace the ball joints for the drag link, track rod and drop arm. Can anybody suggest a vendor to source them from that offers good value for money. Whilst i am doing the job should i be looking at upgrading anything? Everything is very stock.

I have considered get HD rods as they also acome with the ball joints, but i am looking at some $400, compared what i am hoping to be a $100ish job.

Cheers

While I've seen plenty of Land Rovers with upgraded tie rod ends etc but I honestly dont think it's necessary, I'd prolly rather go standard and get other items such as a APT Steering guard...

Thanks Daz, Is it worth spending the extra and getting O.E. Lemforder ends, or will aftermarket do?
