    wishbone ball joint for gtt

    I have my sub frame of ready for shot blasting, have a full set of Polly bushes to go back in, also im going to buy new track rod ends.

    Question is, can you just buy the ball joint and the little inner bracket for the wish bones? I want to replace them and shot blast the wish bone, then fit the two back together.

    If so dealer part?

    Yes still available from renault, come with the two bolts to attach to wishbone and one to attach to stub axle. It does not come with the little plate that goes on top of the wishbone.
    77 01 468 883 fairly sure that's correct about forty pounds each side.

    Yeah, I do tend to get a little OE fixated.

    Why not replace the wishbones instead of blasting and coating the old ones.

    I had thought of doing that, if im buying ball joints i could have just bought the wishbones complete.

    I have some polly bushes to go in them so either way i had to take the oem bushes out, new or old.

    After the day i have had trying to get the old bushes out i wish i had just bought new, tried cutting, pressing, burning but brute force got them in the end.
