I'm way to lazy to do all that work so a couple of days ago I peeled back the headliner above the drivers seat and sprayed in some adhesive, gave it a few minutes and smoothed it back into position. Worked a treat but I guess we'll see how long it lasts.

Some day I might do the same for the passengers but for now nobody sitting in those seats is tall enough for it to be a problem.

I spoke too soon.

Got in the car this morning and the roof liner was sagging on me bonce again.
I suspect I'll need to remove the powdered foam this time.

Yeah the glue won't stick to the degraded foam.

Failed MOT and trying to find away to get the ball joint back in I'm so close to the screws but I'm not strong at the last push. Help please.

I've given up for the mo and it seems like the shaft from gearbox to wheel has dislodged

I know - you get frustrated, then you get down about it all.

Most I did was stare at it. Long day at work straight to food wine and bed.

Is it not simpler to just change the bottom arm not just a ball joint?
The arms are not to bad to do and definitely not as fiddling as the joint itself

You have been lucky or unlucky tbh
I have changed a few arms but never because of a ball joint
Always corrosion on the arms

Probably unlucky, it seemed to be a troubling day. Not touching until the weekend now as work is rammed up. Will deal with a fresh head.

Must say, when I did both mine, I did the whole arms.

andyfreelandy · Jul 17, 2024

If I understand correctly you can't get the balljoint fixing bolts in??

Loosen the arm at the front and rear bush.
Let it drop down a bit.
Bolt on the ball joint.
Angle the ball joint thread to the same angle as the hole in hub.
Push hub in and swing arm and ball joint thread up into the hub.

If you have fitted the ball joint to the hub first you will not do it !!

I've had this a few times. I remedied it by bending the contacts in the holder a bit. I think they go a bit soft or less springy over time. The first time I had it I was swapping bulbs over and checking fuses etc but realised when swapping holders over that it was a holder issue.
