lower ball joint?

[DylPhil7]

haha yeah thats why i didnt complain!

[brocky41]

yea iv found that most of the 310's already have the longer ball joint - pretty sure it was an update or correction part due to 1.5 degrees pos camber factory.

the difference is centre of ball joint to flange tip - either 76mm or 85mm long from memory

yea it had the shorter ones in it..got one side done it came out sweet with a smack with a hammer but couldnt do the other side because you had opended it to check an didnt have the split pin in their.. owell i was over it after doing one of them for the side so was a good excuse. thanks for the hook up anyways was stoaked on the price an to get it so fast.

Sweet iv got a spare pin at work - that one must have not had one cos there wasnt any around yesterday - good to know that the plan for more camber works

Let us know if you need any other stuff too

[sunny79datto]

sweet job done was a bit of a mishon trying to get it all lined up for the 1st one an trying to get the pin out..
an the 2nd one was a mishon getting the nut off the balljoint. but yea na i went an got a pin from repco allgood.
n yea ill say their would be some more stuff comming up so good to know someone for stuff

thats all done an she got a wheel inlingment yesterday because it was real dodgy to drive was way out.
now shes trying to find a tyre she cant fit my 215/50/13s on the front i dont know why but they hit the strut
an so she has 195/55/13s on the front an needs a new tyre but they dont seem easy to come by now.just something 2nd hand wofable would be good something thats around the size of 195/55/13s.. anyone on here work for a tyre company an can get cheap tyres?

[Bartman]

Thats unusual. Did those wheels foul on the strut before the ball joint swap? The earlier and Later 310's had idfferent struts, so perhaps yours and hers are different. Swapping the bottom ball joint shouldn't effect the tyre to strut clearance.........

If there's cleareance on the guards, maybe try thin spacers to step the tyre away from the strut?

[sunny79datto]

yea na the 215s have never fit on the strut so your probley right their 2 diffrent sorts of struts..
shes getting tyres tomorrow all she can fit is 195s but geting some 185s put on. then of the the wof man for the resit

[Bartman]

It might not be the cheapest option for you, But if you ph 006433440145 and ask for Brock, he can sell you the ball joints you need. He also has the part number for the ones which are a little bit longer. Those give a tiny bit more negative camber that the shorter ones.
Postage might not be cheap though.

Also, FWIW those ball joints are easy to get here in NZ.

bj163 is the lower b310 sunny balljoints you need. $77ish a pair from supercheap (i bought some last week, i'm not a parts numbers guru or anything!!!)
