EBay ball joints - reganlives - 25-02-2022
Anyone had any experience with them? I'm going to be changing both front ball joints very soon and got a price from andrew page in stockport today of £41+vat each for blueprint ones but on eBay they're less than £35 for a pair of no name ones.

I can't speak bout the ball joints but I bought some no name top arms for a passat and ended up changing them again in less than 2 months as the collapsed.

That's exactly what I was afraid of! I've always stuck with blueprint parts myself so think I may just spend the extra and get blueprint

For a few quid more you get the genuine part.. I paid £100.00 for the pair, fitted them in about hour and half with basic tools, and my scissor jack. Ps: I bought the breaker for about £7.00 makes life so much easier.

Didn't realise the genuine was that cheap!

Ormi won't touch aftermarket ball joints after a couple went pop and took out his front wing... OEM is the way to go...

What about blueprint ones? Their stuff tends to be good quality

Blueprint quality is quite good, but the genuine parts are cheaper, I got a genuine ball joint from my local Toyota dealer for about £41 inc vat after asking for some discount. Full retail price was about £46.50.

That's not a bad price. I'll get a quote from the dealer this weekend

You might need the part number if you go to Toyota
Toyodiy list
Left 43340-59066
Right 43330-59066
The left ball joint number has been updated to 43340-59135 but I gave the parts desk the older number and they got the correct part.
