Parkesie Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Checked woth my local citroen parts place and they want £105 for 1 ball joint eeek and they advise to check the hub carrier where it slots in as they can corode and wear. Eurocar parts are £50 for 1 gonna ring around a few more places i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkesie Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Right got the sucker off Untitled by Parkesiemtb, on Flickr The inner race didnt want to let go of the hub carrier but a small cut with a dremel and a whack with a chisel and hammer made short work of it. Untitled by Parkesiemtb, on Flickr Replacement part was £15 from ebay basicaly a stock cartridge bearing pressed into the old housing easy to fit.
