I purchased my Silver 350GT Coupe this week from Brisbane and it already had a loose ball joint (aparently not a big issue yet) that the seller told me about.

He also informed me that a mechanic quoted him $250 to get it fixed, basically what it does it make a rattling sound in the suspension when you go over bumps and trust me there's alot of those on Mackay's shitty roads, so i am wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and knows how to fix it at minimal cost as i am purchasing an exhaust setup so i don't want to waste any money on getting a mechanic to do it.

Plus i want it fixed asap as the rattle sound annoys me!

any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I am also having ball joint issues, but the housing for mine is cracked, it clunks on big bumps. I was thinking of just swapping out the upper control/camber arms as it looks like aftermarket ones come with a new joint, but I'm not sure if this is the case or if it will solve my problem.

As for mackays shitty roads, I live in gladstone, your not alone in that situation Haha.

Seano, check that it actually is the ball joint - the most common V35 defect is the lower control arm bushes going (which mine have done), and they make a knocking noise too.

very true man, i will look into it. How much did they cost u to fix?

I bought the lower contorl arm bushes in a group buy on here a few months back for a bit under $100 (from memory), but I haven't had time to fit them yet - they need to be pressed in.

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
