MECCANO Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hello I'm trying to find out if there are different replacment ball joints that go in the arm off the power steering joint. Maybe from a disco or defender as well. The reason being, that i have a 101 fc track rod end that can be rebuilt using these, but the stanadard item isn't quite long enough to allow the use of a castle nut. Has any one got any suggestions?

MECCANO Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Use a nyloc nut? I think thats the only alternative. Although the thread length may determine whether a washer will fit behind it I thought there maybe different types due to the dates this ball joint is used up to. However in hindsight i think the cut off date is when they changed the Powersteering drop arm type so that the ball joint is part of the drag link and not the drop arm.
