Urgent - part numbers needed
I urgently need a couple of part numbers and hope that somebody can help me
Right hand front ball joint for a 88 Ur quattro - the sort with slots for
adjustment, not the earlier type with plain holes and the adjustment slots
in the wishbones.
The plate/pressed stud assembly that is used to fix the balljoint - not the
plate with two bolts that is used on the earlier model.
Why do I need these? At sometime in its life my 88 Ur quattro has had the
wrong type of joint fitted. I suppose that to anybody who doesn't know, the
type of joint hardly seems to matter, but because the joint has no
adjustment slots and is fitted in a wishbone that also doesn't have any
adjustment slots there is no way that the suspension can be aligned
properly - which makes the previous owner a liar 'cos he said that it had
been done. Probably by the same monkey who replaced the suspension bushes
and tightened everything up in mid air - the steel insert bounced across the
floor when I removed the old wishbones to fit new ones tonight.
Thanks,
Jim Haseltine
