EdwinTiben Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 HI, I bought a new upper ball joint for the tr2, but unfortunately this one is dead before driving.. worse, this is the second one new.. They are hard to move and feel rough when moved by hand. This immediately influences the steering of the tr2 (which is tough enough by design..) On the other side i re-used my older one which works perfectly. Which of the supplies carries the right quality ones? ( not being rimm...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexander Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Had the same problem two weeks ago from a London supplier, so it's does seem as there are a number of poor quality upper ball joints out there. The supplier said they had never have a problem with them and to send it back, as pp would cost a fair bit I will return it at Stoneleigh and check a few and buy a couple of good ones for stock Alexander.

RogerH Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hi Edwin/Alex, I may be wrong but I thought that the upper ball joint and TRack rod ends are meant to be fairly stiff as new. After a number of years they do slacken but then become defective. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdwinTiben Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hi Roger, With rough i meant, like there is sand in it, not smoothly but with little shocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Revington perhaps? - Their quality control is good, I think. I've have never read a negative word about them. Menno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hi Edwin, yes that is a different matter. Back in July I bought a pair of TRack rod ends from a local motor factor (as the usual suspects had some dodgy looking offerings) and they were spot on. About the same price too.
