They also look like ba...rds to remove ... .?I just got a brand new bearmach adjustable ball joint off ebay for 15 quid delivered from md4x4.
It is best to remove the housing from the arms, as it usually needs to be pressed out. Beware though, the bolts that hold the housing to the arms are usually badly rusted, and have been known to shear off. If it's quite an old vehicle, then get new bolts and nuts, and one of the ball joints with housing, saves a shed load of time and anglo saxon phrases
