Hi all, need to replace the 'balls' on my '79 88" project. Haven't dismantled them yet so wondering do I need to order DA3169 (Early) or DA3181 (Late) and how can I tell the difference. Thanks.....

Think you need the Late one mate, if your steering arm is on the bottom. Full Kit With Swivel Housing (LATE) | Swivel Parts | Front Axle | Axle | Series 2 and 3 | Parts & Accessories - Paddock Spares

Yep, that's the answer. Steering Arm at the top is the early set-up and Steering Arm at the bottom, as mine has, is the later version. thanks Border.....
