Also you get different size of seating cones as well. Are you replacing the lower arm as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepeat75@gmail.com Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 It is the front left lower control arm, on the 05 coupe version being replaced, i need to get back to the garage to get the measurement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 If the new control arm does not fit the original OEM ball joint, then you have the wrong arm I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepeat75@gmail.com Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Do you stock the arms as well as the ball joints? I have bought 2 arms now, just every ball joint i get is the wrong size, its a nightmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Yes, arms also in stock, however there are more than 1 type/size of arm and seating cone and ball joint I am afraid. Best to fit an arm that is compatible with your existing OEM ball joint and seating cone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepeat75@gmail.com Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Im thinking it must be the larger thread size BJ im after as the problem is always that the thread is too narrow on other BJs tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
