Title: Extended Top Ball Joint for GTV 6
Post by: Aussieotto on July 20, 2020, 05:10:48 PM
Folks

for a 1984 GTV6,

Other then the ones from EB spares are there any other Extended Top Ball Joints  available? I prefer something made with steel rather then aluminium

Try getting in contact with Vin Sharp at pace engineering.
P.s. it's only the cup that is alloy.

Wondering if extended top ball joints or drop spindles are legal on road cars?

While I am not an Engineering Signatory, I do have the background and requirements to be one (just not really interested in certifying V8s in Corollas, installing seat belt anchorages and the professional indemnity insurance .... Blah blah).

I am going to say: No, they are not unless you have an Engineering Certificate including that specific mod to the car.
