    i got a pair of new ball joints in the back of my car for spares "just in case"
    used the boots off them only. i took the front knuckles off and there was no movement at all in the joints although the boots had small tears in them so i changed the boots only.
    i have seen some really cheap joints on ebay and the likes, but cheap stuff like that really scares me on safety parts like steering and suspension. i would go genuine or oem only on this type of part.
    boots should be able to get pretty much anywhere.

    Power steering Pump is noisy and Leaking. Can I rebuild it or do I get a second hand one or new one?

    Turbo is leaking in the middle. I might do the seals and bushes. Any advice there?

    I have the EGR bypass and an engine saver on the way. Also have the new SLS Airbags and pump along with front springs. about to order Dobinsons Shocks and I need to find a steering Damper. Looking at sprung Tough Dog, Foam Cell Iron Man or Bilstein again any Ideas on what way to go with this?

    Also getting some 18s with hwy rubber, once I where these out I'll fit some Micky Thompsons.

    Once I get the Turbo up to snuff, I'll get the ECU redone.
    Any thoughts or advice is appreciated.

    Cheers

    Matt
    EGR bypass - I have Ex Stock

    2nd Hand turbo in good working condition (on my disco right now) will be available in the next week or so if you're interested... I'm pulling it off mine to fit the newest edition to my toy

    Thanks tombie, I'll keep that in mind. I think it is just the turbo oil lines that are leaking.

    Cheers matt

    I have a whole in the Exhaust flex joint. The exhaust I bought to solve this has a cat on it and the old belows type joint. Should I cut this off and weld it on or get a new flex joint and weld it into place.

    anyone have any places that just sell the flex joint?

    Cheers

    Matt
