ZX Track Ctrl Ball Joints ??

I want to replace my Lower track control ball joints (base of strut), which one side is worn.

Can't see them listed on GSF 'Online Shop' as a single or as a kit for both sides. These have previously been changed as they have nuts and bolts, fixing them to the arm.

If they don't do them any suggestions who might in the Cardiff area.

Also which is the most common rear subframe mountings to fail, the fronts or the rears ??.

thanks

Hi Sooty, I had to do both of my front rear subframe mounts, (That infernal knocking!!!!) and from what I read on here, they are the ones to fail most often.. or perhaps they are the ones that are noticed first) . ps changing them transformed the cars' handling for the better, and it didn't take more than a couple of hours in the driveway. As for the lower balljoints, any local motor factor should have them. Best wishes, Martin
