Does anyone know, or have any connections that might know, of an aftermarket part for the MG TF rear upper ball joint that screws into the top of the hub?

The part number is RBK000090.

It is NOT the same as the fronts, or the MGF ones which you can pick up for anywhere between £6 and £12.99 from the likes of QH.

At the minute I am looking at £30 a side for MG parts. At that price I might just stick the old ones on.

I am builing up 2 brand new hubs and was going to stick new ball joints on as the old ones will be rusted and not up to their best.

I can't find them any cheaper than that. Sorry.

God, you're nearly as useless as me.

Any luck Chris? I have won a genuine one on e-bay for about £17 but need another.
If there are no cheaper alternatives I will probably just get one from the local x-part dealer for £30.

Cheapest I can find are £22.50 each

Is that +VAT?

The going rate is around £29.70 inc VAT.

Vat included

Thanks for looking mate.

I have ordered one from my local x-part. For a couple of quid it is easier for me to just pick it up.

I have had an idea for a product though. I have just ordered 2 new drive flanges as the "new" ones I had have a little bit of damage. I can get them dressed and use for the fronts, but I wouldn't be happy using them for the driven flanges.

Anyway, I was looking a while ago into flanges with a PCD of 100 which would make wheel choices a lot easier. As far as I could tell Elise parts were the only supplier, and at over £100 each it would cost £400+ to convert to allow for different wheels.

Just wondering if it would be something you would be interested in as I would like to convert to 100pcd sometime.
