I need to replace the inner ball joints on my 64 TR4. TRF and Moss no longer have them available. Can anyone advise where to buy rebuilt units? Thanks!
Can you elaborate a little bit... There is a ball joint that connects the upper control arms, is that what you a referring to? No balls joints on the inner part of the control arms upper or lower.
A picture would help.
Do you mean the ball joint where the tie rod connects to the steering rack? If so, they seem to be available. I just did a search on eBay for TR4 tie rods and several popped up. BP Northwest has them too.
I suggest that you wean yourself off Moss. Finding decent parts for these cars is an important skill to develop. Just running off to Moss when you need something is great in the short run but not in the long run.
Thanks Sarastro. Yes I had looked on ebay but the only part I found is the "ball pin" (incorrectly called the "inner tie rod" in the ebay ad) which Rimmer also has -- number 9 in this diagram > Triumph TR4-250 Steering Rack | Rimmer Bros <
If loose remove disassemble, clean and inspect the ball and socket. I found mine loose but the wear was minimal, I was able to adjust with available shims, grease and reinstall the inner tie rod sockets.
