: No answer on the lower control arm ball joints and intermediate steering arms...
: it seems there is an urgent need for clubs to pool their talents and resources to solve this problem ..... or the email list o share
: their experience/knowledge in the absence of this.

: Surely theses roadworthy items are of prime concern to owners everywhere....
: its amazing that nothing has been done so far to adress the problem or have there been efforts???

: If there is anyone with knowledge in this area please share it....only if knowledge is shared will the cars have a chance of survival!
: all the best,

: Dear Mick,
: I have had the lower control arms reconditioned before for the Qld club, through a local automotive parts firm.They do a very good
: job, and replace the ball joint with a new one which has a grease
: nipple.
: They also replace the two bushes and paint the arms.The end result is a fully reconditioned lower control arm, I have been using them on my cars for
: years and also had one set pass a roadworthy inspection ok.

: If you want some sets done, its an exchange basis and I will have to re-investigate the price that I can get them for as it has been some time
: since we did any and the price of the bushes goes up from time to time.

: As for the steering arm ball joint I'm pretty sure there is a Holden or other equivalent that you can buy off the shelf.
