Is it possible to replace the lower wishbone ball joint on the dispatch, or is it a hydrolic press out press in job.
Also where to get them from, I googled lower wishbone ball joint and it only come up with complete wishbone assembly.
These look cheap enough, but my budget is very tight at the moment so just the ball joint would be good.

Re: Dispatch wishbone
I *think* they all come like that with the balljoint already fitted. The smaller vans (Berlingo / Partner) have the three bolt affair same as the ZX / 306.
It might be possible to get the balljoint although you'd need a decent press to fit it, years ago I tried this on a 1303 beetle without much luck (similar affair really on those pressed in balljoint in the arm)

Re: Dispatch wishbone
Thanks Andy, will check the other side before i order then, in case I need both sides.
I have done a few that require drilling out and having bolts fitted afterwards, vectras have them.
It seems you can get the 2 rubber bushes ok but not the ball joint.

Re: Dispatch wishbone
I think that's the thing, like the 806's etc, if you need the bush's fine, if you need the balljoint you need the arm. Same as my 205TD (same as the GTi ones) They would be a right pain to fit if you did find them too...

Re: Dispatch wishbone
If i need the pair I just found them on ebay at a sensible price.

Unless I can find a good second hand pair at the right price I may have to stump up the readies for these.

Re: Dispatch wishbone
If its any help, new ones for my 205TD were around £45 each, Dealer price was about £130 ish if I remember correctly.
So all in all, that's quite good to be honest.
