Cheap and nasty parts from the likes of paddocks. Get the decent quality stuff it only costs a bit more but lasts ten times as long.

i didnt know it was ****epart, in fact i had thought i bought a good one from a landrover dealer 22quid plus vat, it was in a plastic bag no writing on the bag, so i dont know a fook what i bought. i know one thing i will not be back in that shop

new one will be geniune landrover part

many thanks
 
NO, just a normal ball joint, i have seen the same type on fleaby and they where as cheap as chips

reading into your question then i paid to much??????

well you live and learn

Nar just depends where you buy from tbh m8 , you may of had one that wasnt assembled correctly from the factory ( not enough preload ) so it failed very soon . Ive fitted a few in the past that has lasted Ages
