Lemfoerder ones are good  IIRC they are the genuine onesIf you look on the ECP site the last number of the product code tells you if it is genuine, oem, pattern etc ________________________________________ GaryCherry Red GTi 6 |

Peugeot are currently supplying TRW / Lemforder balljoints. We fitted the Lemforder ones from ECP to Gary's car and after seeing them I can believe they are genuine  ________________________________________ Rich |

As further back up, the Lemforder ones are indeed genuine parts. I had a pair on my old DTurbo for 25k, and never gave me any grief.________________________________________ 2004 Civic Type R - 200bhp Weekend fun1998 Civic Aerodeck VTi - 170bhp Practicality |

That's right on the age where it could have either. You won't be able to tell for sure without taking one off and measuring it.The positive camber you're referring to is a result of fitting non-PAS ball joints to a PAS equipped car, as the mounting body is a different length. ________________________________________ Rich |

the diameter of the pin, also you need to ensure the distance from the pin to the mounting bolts is the same on the replacement, non pas ones are shorter.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

no need to whack it, just remove the bolt, push the hub inwards and lever the wishbone downwards.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Plug your VIN number into servicebox and it should tell you. More biased towards saying 16mm though  |
