Mk2 Cortina Lower Control Arm ball joint rebuild

Hi all-
Are rebuild kits available for the ball joints on Mk2 Cortina lower control arms? Specifically the pressed and welded steel style? Just wondering if the ones I have can be saved or should go into the bin.
thanks!
Carl

Hi Carl,
Years ago a suspension shop in San Jose inserted a universal ball joint
Within the cavity of the MK2 t/c arm. I don't know of anybody
doing that anymore.
Graeme of EnFord spares sells t/c arms 3034E-3078-TW @
$NZ136.00 ea which is very reasonable.

Thanks Pete. I do have a pair of the new cast ones from OZ. I'm going to be shortening them for my Anglia 105E so I thought I'd practice on some pressed steel arms first. All my pressed steel ones have bad ball joints. If they were cheaply repairable, I'd experiment on the pressed steel ones.
