Bottom Ball Joints

[mickypee]

Does any body out there have 2 new bottom ball joints they could pass my way. I am struggling to find any dealer who has some in stock.They are TVR specific although a Lada Riva is close but not close enough.I am working round the clock to get the car finished for 11th Dec show.Any help appriciated.

Lada Riva sounds right. But maybe Rivas are not all the same? I would be surprised if it was a TVR special. But I've always got mine through Tower View.

Just had mine replaced by Austec. Not sure where they got the parts, I believe it may have been Mole or Peninsula. Suggest you give them a ring (01293 531080)

In my desperation, I rang the factory.There are no ball joints to be had any where, even in Blackpool.
Reason:They haven't had any made by the manufacturer in Germany.

I asked when they could expect some more,reply was don't know.Great help.

Don't they make a model called Chimera(similar to a Griffith I thought)Obviously don't expect to sell any in the near future,at least none that steer!!

Frustrating

What ever happened to customer service.

Mike,
I'm in the same boat, no supply from factory!
Car's currently off the road for a bit of general suspension fetling so I'll be trying to match the bottom joints up at a Lada dealer when I've got 'em off. Never thought TVR ownership would lead me there but needs must. Does anyone know if the
If I have any luck I'll let you know.
Cheers
