I am trying to get my clubman registered in QLD, last time I had it checked it needed a few repairs most are done except the ball joints, I have another set but i'm after some info on how this is done and if there are any tips that can make the job easier. I prefer to do the work my self as most mechanics now days either don't want to look at a mini or will just do the job half ass'd to get paid, also i'm trying to keep costs down as I am currently unemployed.

Booglie,,, take your wheel assys off the car & them them over here & we can do them together,,, that way you not only get to know how to do them "Properly" but it also won`t cost you much at all.... at least this way you will have a safe mini & not have a ball joint come loose & fall out & cause a prang
