Mark90 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 the steering damper bracket is attached to the drop arm ball joint , so i must keep this , is the end of this threaded ? as per other side (ball joint end) Yes, and it is a left hand thread. also is the ball joint in the drop arm a serviceible item ie can it be removed .. Yes, there's a circlip on the bottom that allows it to be removed/replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yes, there's a circlip on the bottom that allows it to be removed/replaced. On some IIRC, others do not have a replaceable ball joint and you have to change the whole arm. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBMUD Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 You can get away without a press but it is best done off the car. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
