Top ball Joint

Post by mwheatley »

Hi all,

Does anyone know the best place I can get a replacement near side front top ball joint from for my LHD Westy (1990)?

Many thanks,

Matt

The gaiters have to be intact now to pass the MOT...mine were split so both top ball joints had to be replaced this year...last year didn't matter!
