JJM Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi all, I'm looking for Upper and Lower Front Balljoints for a Manta A please. Must be new/unused, OEM or spurious it doesn't matter. Or can anyone recommend a UK supplier for these? I know Dr Manta has them but international bank transfers are a pain as I have to go into the branch.

tony g Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 John , how soon do you need them? I am in the process of sourcing from Italy but may take some time. The italian ones are the the units that dr manta and others on german e bay use. They would be a lot cheaper too. The manufacturer is Frap.Same quality as QH stuff was.

sotb Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 i need one of each as well so if you could put my name down when you source them from italy that would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony g Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Ok i'll keep you informed. I have to get a minimum quantity to make it happen. Also included in the list will be track rod ends and inner track rods (that attach to the rack). I need to speak to the guy to confirm the minimum quantity needed.

Cheers Tony Not in a major hurry Tony, say maybe a month? What sort of timescale were you looking at? You don't happen to have a source for bushings as well? Again Dr Manta has replacement rubber units and I've seen PU kits on Splendid Parts though they don't come with the sleeves.

tony g Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 A month may be feasible but cant confirm that yet.Someone here sells PU bushes but cant think who lol. German E bay will turn up a few shops that are happy to take paypal. If youre not on google chrome, download it as it automatically translates pages. Then go on ebay .de and type in manta a and you'll see lots of stuff Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
