Mitchy Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I recently purchased two cheap AISIN lower ball joints from the leading european internet parts supplier, AUTODOC. Aisin boxed, not Aisin marked, and worryingly only have a self-locking nut, no castellated nut and no pin. Not even a hole in the shank to use the old nut and pin. Not going on my car! ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchy Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 After a little searching, it would appear that I bought generic Korean-made parts. The manufacturer has no website, so who knows what I bought. No mention of Aisin except on the box. The cheats are everywhere!! Gads!

Rampage Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I've seen them. Really stupid idea. You have to jack the control arm up to get the taper to bite so the lock nut will go on. The part number starting with JBJ reminds me of TRW part numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
