Enjoy. Looks like it'll be a ballache without a ramp.

Yep got RAVE. Checked with suppliers and my friendly indie, apparently there is lower , attached to arm and upper , which separates. Only the upper is the issue but might as well get both done at same time.
I'll get a better look in next couple of days.
Thanks Bix. Got a 4 poster so one down a million others to deal with

Ahhh wait a minute...they could be talking about the Compression Link...which is a ball joint that is just above the other lower ball joint...!!

Ok might not be that one then lol I never, ever said I was good at this type of thing. All I know is I was told to get the ball joint, the one that faces forward not on the angle . Then when I explained that to the parts people they came back with is it lower or upper. Upper is separate and lower is attached to arm.

Yes there is upper and Lower ball joint arms
Already done the lower ones last year on mine
Relatively straight forward
Just buy the whole arm including the joints
Otherwise you need a 2 tonne press to get the old joints out
Not worth the hassle so its easier to buy the complete arms

Load of p!ss takers you are ! Lol
Nothing wrong with britpart !
Why would I buy just the bushes for £30 and then send then to a workshop to extract and change the old bushes when you can buy a complete arm for £50 ?!?
I need the wheels aligning anyway so that's why I'm changing these worn parts now otherwise it will throw the alignment out !
