The lower ball joints are difficult to remove. I made up a rather rough looking similar "tool" to remove mine and also welded the ball joint. Note the bend in my tool and Jim's after use. Make is sturdy! Mine was far too weak for the job and certainly for reuse. Not showing in the photo is the other solid plate the bolts pushed against. You can see the simple piece of pipe I used as a spacer between the flat plate and the suspension assembly to push against.Hi all.
I have just dismantled kitty's passenger side suspension/steering and I really need to get the top and bottom ball joints out.
Book says I need a tool for it. Anyone know where I can get one?
a question regarding the bottom link strut assembly. it has a large metalastic bush one end and a ball joint the other.
is that ball joint removable? or part of the assembly.
also, can this strut assembly be removed without having to touch the main spring?
Anyone know of an equivalent to briconengineeringgroup in the UK. Someone who can re-engineer the joint in the lower link? I heard there was another in South Africa.
