Suspension Ball Joint Collar

[Knock-on]

Your mission should you choose to accept it

 

OK, I don't know what they are called or really what they are supposed to look like.

 

I have bought a double wishbone conversion kit off ebay. I don't know if it's a RHE one or not but there is a suggestion it isn't.

 

 

Apparently, there is supposed to be a collar / sleeve on the top ball joint?

 

Anyone got a picture of what they are or more importantly got a couple or know where to get them?

[steve in stockport]

it might be the camber adjusting sleeves near the bottom of the first page

Hi mate. Don't think it's them.

 

Pretty sure it's at the top where the cycle wing bracket goes on. The one I saw was about 90mm cylender with a plate with a hole in the middle for the ball joint thread to go through.

Usually called mushrooms and fit in the top hole of the hub carrier where the Mac strut used to fit on the sierra.

Thanks Nigel. Knew someone would decipher my rambleings

 

Anyone got a couple or know where to purchase them?

 

Have also just found out that I need 2 new stub axles for the conversion as the bottom mount on the ones I have has been removed to facilitate the sliding pillars.

 

Anyone got a pair?

 

This is turning into a bigger job than I anticipated. Oh well, it was never going to be easy :laugh:

You are a genius!!

 

May try and get a couple of stubs a bit cheaper. £90 is a huge amount! Probably get a pair for a tenner down crawley breakers.

 

Are mondeo ones the same as Sierra anyone?

 

BTW, if anyone wants a pair of sliding pillar ones, let me know.

[Guest robin]

mondeo ones are not the same as sierra ones as the mondeo was front wheel drive and the sierra is rear wheel drive.

Were they really?

 

Never driven a Mondeo but assumed it was a rear.

 

Oh well, never mind.

 

Has anyone got a couple knocking about?

[Guest Geordiebarry]

I got a pair of new Sierra hubs for £75 complete off ebay a couple of months back.

[Knock-on]

Done a bit of digging and can get them for £50 but am sure my local scrappy will be a bit cheaper.

[Guest erichetherington]

At Stoneleigh Spire were selling brand new hubs complete for £75 which sounds quite reasonable if you price new bearings etc for s/h ones.
