20v RR Ball Joints
At my last MOT, slight movement was detected around the F/O/S ball joint.
I immediately ordered one through Pete Reeve 'quottro corner' (great service as always). One of the many mods on my car, I am running cast wishbones with 20v RR items. Guess what......... ? NLA. That is to say from dealers. Audi Tradition of course do have some but want £192. At that price, I think I would try and get some rose jointed items made up. Does anyone know of anyone that already makes them or perhaps someone that has the engineering skills to make them?

Good find and thanks, but at £128 plus p&p. Probably still worth considering having something made

Are these the right ones? If not, give Jase a call, I'm sure he'll be able to sort you out... Last edited by buzzin; 23-05-17 at 07:55 PM. Reason: spelt name wrong |

Since THAT price is a problem, do nothing until any sounds appears, unless you do some heavy footed driving with that car regularly. If that has been found by someone touching the wheels, not you from the drivers seat, there's still nothing to worry about.
I presume that again it's the "there are no decent parts stores around" that the only parts source mentioned is dealer... |

20v Ur Quattro has an 18mm pin fitment on the balljoint, it is a sh1t but it looks like you will have to fork out the money if you want the original part, looking at the part numbers this was only fitted to the 20v Ur quattro.
