Venatus 2 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 Aight, failed the wof spectacularly....spectacularly less than i thought it would. Need a new ball joint on the left control arm, probably cheaper to go for a second hand one in decent condition than replace the whole control arm, so need one of those, preferably palmy/wellington at a stretch is fine, unless someones got a cheap new one. Also need to repair a long stretch of the exhaust thats leaking everywhere, so either a second hand exhaust from the downpipe mating join back including muffler if someones got a semi-loudish cheap one going, otherwise been quoted 135 to replace the section of pipe thats munted.

Cheers Get in touch with Gavin at Euro-Italian for the ball joint, I got one off him last week for the other side, was just over $30+ gst. You can bash, sorry press, the old one out and the new one in rather than replacing the whole control arm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds interesting, any special tools needed other than hammer? are you able to just hit the bottom of the new one in or do you think thatll munt the new one up?
