Bottom balljoint and wishbone, no real issues except one of the three locking nuts which hold on the balljoint was slightly malformed and needed a little cleaning up with a file; balljoint nuts torqued:
Bolts downwards with the balljoint bracket underneath the wishbone; not critical but the weight when she is on her wheels is balljoint to wishbone rather than hanging off the bolts, and if any nuts lost then gravity holds in the bolts in (wishful thinking right?):
Started to try and fit the top balljoint, I think the IVA cover is still too long and I was too tired to work out how to screw this in without the locking nut moving as well. Then ran into an issue with the length of thread - it appears to run out of thread in the top wishbone tube before the ball join is screwed in fully.
Found its a known issue: RHOCar - Top Balljoint threads M18 1.5 Thread
Looking to get the nominal 48mm between the back of the lock nut and centre of the balljoint.
I'll take a look at Newark and see if I can get some advice.
