The wishbone with the joint removed. You can just see the circlip groove near the bottom of the wishbone (the bearing is fitted from below) 1469x1102 3.bearing.removed.jpg 2005-05-28 13:48:28 |
The old and new balljoints side by side. The left one is showing signs of the lining breaking down inside the joint, leading to movement 1469x1102 4.old.and.new.bearings.jpg 2005-05-28 13:40:30 |
My improvised puller to get the new joint into the hole - a length of 10mm threaded rod, two bolts some oversized washers and a 21mm socket to act as a 'drift' 1469x1102 5.getting.the.bearing.in.jpg 2005-05-28 13:50:58 |
The joints are held in place with spiral circlips which are fiddly to refit until you know the trick - wind them in to start with and then work steadily around the joint. The only place I've found that sells them is Caterham Cars 600x450 6.circlip.jpg 2005-05-26 22:21:08 |
