ball joints.

[mrcrappy]

Are the 350 ball joints cortina or granada? i would assume that if the hub assy. is granada and so are the track rod ends then the ball joints would be too, both the granny and cortina have the same hole spacings but the cortina has a shorter taper.
any help would be appreciated.
cheers jon.

Actually, I think they two types are different: the mounting pate for the ball is longer on (I presume) the Granada than the Cortina. What I usually do is buy both and take back the one I don't use!

I have taken both sides off and found them both to be different, one is the granny and the other is the cortina, so i have gone with the cortina because the taper looked to have fitted better, the granada one wasall rusty, ill give it a go and see how it is, it probably wont make any difference i have been driving it for nearly 5 years like that and they dont seem to be excessivly worn. thanks jon.

On a similar note what about the lower wishbones?

Cortina but consider fitting polyurethane bushes.
