Fancy name for a Ball Joint and More

Cor it's been a long time. The 405 is long gone and there's a French car in the family fleet again

C3 Mk1 1.4HDi, 2007

What the heck is an Anti Roll Bar ball joint? See MOT Fail Sheet. Are we just talking a Ball joint here?

Anyone know the Hub Nut size on these?

And is it a regular or a small CV Boot for these?

Dip Beam is a H4 Blub?

TIA

Probably means the anti roll bar drop link needs replacing as the ball joints on them wear and can knock when going over bumps. They do not cost much and are easy to replace not taking long. Could be about £10 from somewhere like GSF.

Look in the hand book for the bulb type and how to fit it.

You're not kidding it has! Hope you & yours are all well, what became of the 405?

Been absent here a good while myself (although not for want of French cars) and only fairly recently got back online.

If you're after a good universal CV boot (and ball joint covers up to complete drive shafts) I'd go for J&R (J_R2006 on ebay). Had nothing but good experiences with this company & the rubber they use seems to last a lot better than pretty much any other brands.

Thank You both.

The 405 succumbed to rot and I knew it was time to put the Welder away when I remembered a certain gambling advert "When the Fun Stops, Stop". I sold the 405 for less than scrap money coz I couldn't bear to scrap it. It's still SORN on DVLA.

A 2004 Focus 1.8TDCI replaced it (hated it) and I'm now on my second Mk3 Mondeo 2.0TDCI. All Estates.

Somewhat surprisingly the Mondys have been EVEN BETTER (!!) than the 405s (especially after the woeful Focus (Ghia) in every respect and after a quarter million miles exclusively in XUD9A's over 15years I've learned a lot about Turbo's
