Need some parts info

[Mullster]

Hello again,
Thank you all for your input. I need to ask these questions because I live in Australia and we did not have most of the cars used as donors. I have been looking at the UK EBAY site and have seen various Metro joints and was wondering if I need to by the Upper units (logical I suppose) or was the lower part used for some obscure reason. One type that I saw is Item number: 370226887267.

Thanks for your help once more.

Peter

As stated by Matt before:-

The ebay ref you mention is correct for the top joint (under the rocker arm).
Top swivel (Front suspension) Quinton Hazell part - QSJ 1060S

The bottom ball joint is from Freight Rover Sherpa 1.6 1.7 1.8D 2.0 1974-1985
Leyland Daf (LDV) 200 Series 1.7 1.8D 2.0 2.0Di 2.0D 1985-4/1996

Bottom swivel (Front suspension) Quinton Hazell part - QR 1774RHT
Be careful buying a pair for the Sherpa, as one is right hand thread, the other left hand.
You need 2 x RHT. Many of the ebay ones are LHT
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LDV-SHERPA-285-35 ... 45f31e4002
Looks right, but call them to confirm (they list another part which shows its LHT in the description, so I presume the one Ive posted is RHT)
