Well i have reconditioned my front upper control arm
I brazed up the worn end thrust section and milled it back
Its perfect now
The problem now is the Knuckle Joint
When i went to fit the cup it just fell in the hole and was loose as a goose
the old one had to be dug out with a screw driver
So should it be a push in fit or loose?
The part number is RGSV1118 or 21A1163

should be a push fit - it won't last long if it can flop around...

I was at minisport last year and an upset customer came back in with a set of knuckle joints that were loose. There must be a few bad batches around.

Knuckle joint issue is Fixed
The Cup was the wrong OD but right ID
So they replaced the cup with a correct size one and Bob's Ya Aunty
