the van we were doing up for our friend needs a front suspension ball joint
doing for the mot,. can anyone please give me an idea what it might cost just to get the one
replaced so i can prepare myself for what this total bill's going to come to :cry: ??? our garage is a fairly
reasonable one i think, but i'm more than a little worried :shock:
many thanks

(& if it matters, it's an early van 82..)

Top or bottom ?

Top easy peasy .... bottom not so.

The tricky parts the socket heads that screw down into the balljoint carrier from the upper wishbone, if they undo it's a P.o.P. often though the heads are made of cheese and they eaily round off ... introduce heat though and they soon surrender :twisted:
