SWB bottom ball joints

[Gilbert '71 T]

no BS intented at all, appreciate the input but I know exactly what I need, and what the differnces are in these parts, if you found a cheaper alternative I'd probably kiss you to death but the sad fact is there isnt one.... which is lucky for you .

if you know you want 901-347-031-01
then maybe you should try your opc ??

i can get you them special order , that may be over your 1week deadline , at a price of less than 50quids each

it was late & i was bloody knackered last night, that part number above is for the tie rod, the part number of the parts I need is 901.341.047.00 - that's the bloody expensive bottom ball joint.

Thanks anyway

Hi Darren,

Hope you get it sorted. On a side note the LWB ball joints are not all the same, the pre 72 ones use a bolt and nut and the later ones a pin and nut. The indent on the ball joint differs for each.

Cheers Ian appreciate that, had I not wanted them for a free mot retest, I would have taken you uo on that, great price considering what everyone's charging

I ended up buying them for £90 each +vat from Euros fitted them this afternoon too, no kissing needed just a little sweet talking ...£90 each +vat from Euros

do you have a supplier from abroad? I was told that Lemforder in the UK only sell to OPC (who then sell them for £101 +vat)

pity gsf dont sell them ........ we used to get massive discounts when you play them against one another !!!

european stuff tends to get through customs ok , but items from usa tend to get "grabbed" , though i know a few tricks to avoid this
2 dollars per pound makes it the right time to buy !!

yeah I've been there as well when the front end of one of my Golfs was pinched from on the street during broad daylight
