Track rod ball joint for 280

[sjp76]

Does anyone know if a Mark 2 Granny track rod ball joint will fit my 280i? If not, what car does it come from?

Cheers,
Steve.

I thought it was of a Mk 4 Cortina, although this may be the same as the Granny. If you take it along to any decent motor factor they will be able to match it up for you. Otherwise I got my replacement from Richard at Wedge Automotive

The upper and lower ball joints are apparently off a MkIV Cortina, (Unipart numbers GSJ122 AND GSJ123).

Really useful little site!

I've fitted Mk2 granny joints to mine, the drawback was I had to elongate the 2 small holes in the wishbone slightly to get them to fit. However they are a beefier joint and after I snapped one off ! I was interested in improving this aspect. I also had the geometry checked before and after this mod and there was no change to camber or castor.
