heslo Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Hey guys, I know this isn't the WTB section but I've already posted there and thought I might try local in SA too. I'm in pretty desperate need of a front left hand site balljoint+hub assembly for my R33. Just got my tires changed today and found out what was causing my uneven wear. Now with the new tires on I don't want to leave it too long before sorting the problem. I've tried all the spare part places that were open today but no such luck, gonna try the rest on Monday but thought to check if anyone here can help out. As you can't just buy the balljoint new I asked Pedders how much for the whole assembly and they said $2000! DEFINITELY not going with that option so if anyone can help out or point me in the right direction, would be well appreciated Cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/172996-urgent-help-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

heslo Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Did it myself, then realised that I needed new bushes on the top of the arm so I just said screw it, took it to Pedders and got them to fit the bushes on both sides plus adjustable camber kit. Plus, since it was only there just over a month ago for a 28 point safety check and they didn't pick this, they chucked in a four wheel alignment for free. Well worth it I say; was chucking it around abit tonight on the way home from the movies and the improvement is definately noticeable Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/172996-urgent-help-needed/#findComment-3190209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
