Source for lower ball joint?????
Hello All:
I was wondering if anyone knows of a good source for replacement lower ball joints for a 2004 XJ8 Vanden Plas. I know they need to be pressed out and in on the knuckle; I have the ability to get this part done. The only source I can find is Taiwan made units on Ebay. I was looking for something more trusted than these. Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Check out the S-Type subforum, there has been a lot of discussion in there about ball joints, the front wishbones & vertical links are shared between the S-Type and the X350.
As far as I know there are different versions depending on the model year. I know that the Brembo equipped cars had some special ones (which I bought from a forum member) but if i'm not mistaken the non-Brembo cars may use the same ones as the Lincoln LS, but there are two or three different versions...
