I got a quote from MG Heritage and it was $45 each... So... Is this what i need? It is so confusing - Austin, Rover, Metro, Turbo... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUSTIN-METRO-UPPE ... dZViewItem |

Not sure if what you need? The difference in the two ball joints is the diameter of the taper. So if you are using mini suspension you should be able to use mini ball joints???? because the taper will fit into the upper arm and the lower arm. Dan |

no they are totally different, metro ball joints have no shims and a more of a bolt type arrangement that screws into the uprights. early metro ones have a smaller taper which suits the mini control arms. the later metro ones have a thicker ball joint shaft with a different taper. |
