Get the front subframe out yesterday to rebuild but I'm having trouble finding the right parts. E.g. balljoints. Tie rods.

Is yours manual steer or does it have a power steering box? Ball joints should still be available, you might be best to go direct to George Stocks.

Power. non-rack and pinion. Went to stocks today. They couldnt help with balljoints. Sorted the bushes. They had the wrong tierods but i think they might be the inner ones they have but not the outer.

Thanks guys. I've got a few options now so I'll get back on what I go with. Who does a good price on wheel bearings for these cars? Ripco quoted me $194 per corner!!!!!
