No good if you have 4WS though :(

I need to get some ball joints fairly quickly, so I've had a look online and found these:

http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Honda ... 8b8&000019

Anyone had any experience with these? I know there's been some problems with cheap suspension components so I want to try and steer clear of anything crap :?

Cheers,
Josh

Eurocarparts are fairly safe, they've got a reputation so doubt they'd sell anything mince.

Awesome 8-) turns out the thread on my lower right is mashed, possibly as a result of angry hammer time :lol: will get some ordered ready for the weekend :)
