Quinton Hazell top balljoints of Ebay..
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2015 4:22 pm
Decided to replace the top balljoints on my Elan with a pair of old new stock QH parts bought off an eBay trader...
I was having problems connecting the two bolts through the wishbones through the balljoint... Checked and it seems the two holes through the top of the casting are not parallel... Lesson learnt, don't buy cheap parts from eBay...even if they are supposed to come from a quality UK manufacturer .. . Off to get some new ones from my local friendly Triumph dealer tomorrow (closer than my friendly Lotus dealer)
