any reputable motor factors should have, or be able to get them.

Original top ball joints are Lemforder - I assume bottom ones are too but that is a guess. Explain to your local factor they must be Lemforder, and they will ignore you completely and order a different (cheaper) one. I speak from experience.

Hi Chris.

Are they the Saab 900 and the Fiat 124 ball joints, I have read that some of the Saab don't fit the S1 & 2, will try today for the Lemforder ones.

Many Thanks

Top def Saab, I think Fiat / lada for bottom one as you say.

The top balljoint issue is here - the housing on some of them is wider

The bottom balljoint issue can be that replacements don't have enough movement angle - compare new to old that the amount of movement is the same.
