[urq] Early ball joints... :)

Thu Jul 6 16:53:54 EDT 2006

On my early '83, I was able to tap the joint with a grease fitting, then
use the boot from a 944-it's the same!

I know a company in the UK that did this for 944s. They removed the old
one and pressed in a new one. On a 944 it was either this or you had to
replace the whole wishbone. Audi, now they want you to replace the whole
car.

OK then, at 500 Euros, now we can ask the question : Are they
rebuildable ? 
I mean, i know the answer, but since I have 4 used ball joints at my
home, is there a way of reinserting a 18mm shank (from another source)
in the old core, or this is a one-way thing ? We can work a lot for 500
Euros...
