The new wider tyres have shown up my worn front end.
I need new rod ends, steering damper and drop-arm ball joint.
I have numbers for everything except the drop arm ball joint.
apparently there were two brands of steering box used. How to tell the difference? (each one has a different pitman -drop- arm) and if there is any difference in the ball joint used on each brand?
The only thing I've been able to find is a rebuild kit RBG000010 for the ball joint. Anyone know if you can buy one pre-assembled?
I went with the Maxi Drive A frame balljoint, 11mths ago:
50-257-2014-Oct Rear A-Frame Suspension Balljoint fix - REMLR Wiki
Both of those are OK, Bendix have always been a good quality product.

picked up a set of the Mintex pads. Heavy buggers.
Still trying to find a viable solution for steering drop arm.
Not sure I like trusting my life on a $16 ball joint rebuild kit, but I can't find anything else.
Might have to get a return-to-centre steering damper so if it does break, at least the car will go straight instead of flipping when the wheels point out in opposite directions.
Now if only LRdirect.com would get back to me about those tie-rod ends, I could actually order some stuff!
Not sure if this is any use to you Chris...
