Road Ready Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Discovered a split in a ball joint cover on our '07. Anybody with suggestions for finding a replacement in a more expeditious way than ordering an new one through Caterham?
yellowss7 Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) I seem to recall that they might be Triumph Spitfire ones. Tom Quick check of Blatchat archives states part # (QR1118S) Off a fiat 132 Edited July 10, 2014 by yellowss7
Taber10 Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) jlumba81, While on the surface your idea seems fine, my "closest" NEW Caterham dealer is listed as Lamborghini Palm Beach. And, while they do have a 2012 Caterham R500 offered for sale, I'm not yet certain that a Lamborghini dealer with NO reference to Caterham other than the used car on their web site makes me feel that they can/will/want to support my 2007 vehicle. On the positive side, I make it down to WPB once or twice a year--on my way to the Keys, normally, and I will have to stop in and talk to them..... Edited July 10, 2014 by Taber10 typo
xcarguy Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Road Ready, Does your ball joint have grade fitting? If so, is the rubber cover removable? If yes to both, and the ball joint isn't worn, you can source a replacement rubber cover from pretty much any parts store. Replace, re-grease and carry on.
craig chima Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 If you are looking for the upper ball joint, I believe that I have a pair of new ones in stock. Call or email if you are still looking. 330 807 0742 or chima97@aol.com. Craig
