Can anyone tell me what the rear lower ball joints on the 5EXI are from, I have nipped one of the rubber cover / gators, they are the type held in by 2 17mm bolts.
No problem. On a related note, did you get the correct track rods ends for your steering rack from Marlin? I don't know what mine were, but they were imperial, when the rack is metric. I had always thought the thread was a little loose but it wasn't until I went and bought a pair of metro rod ends as replacements that I realised what mine should have beenlike from the outset. The metro rods were also longer so offered even more thread engaged, in addition to the correct thread.
I must say all seemed fine with regard to the rod ends, the only issue I had was when I got the new front wishbones the balljoint swere a differant thread but Terry sent me some more foc.
