Ball joint control arm problem
I removed the ball joints from the control arms on my 914 1976. Used a pipe wrench, breaker bar and a lot of heat and they came off.
However on one of the control arms the tab for locating the ball joint when tightening the ball joint nut sheared off. I guess I could weld on a new tab but my welding is c**p and I dont want to make it any worse. Any suggestions? David |
A new (or new-used) A-arm...

screwed
I have seen people put a self tapping metal screw in its place, not pretty but effective

I have a good control arm in my shop both sides even let me know. Yours for shipping

Joe,
Thats a generous offer I am in Gothenburg Sweden what would shipping cost I need the right hand side (not driver side) |
The answer to shipping to Sweden? A whole bunch more than the part is worth. Just weld a tab, os a screw as suggested above. It's just to hold the ball joint while you tighten the nut.

Joe,
Yes your right I will weld a tab. Thanks for the offer anyway |
