Hi all, just looking for a bit of clarification as having searched I haven't found a definitive answer...not on the upper anyway. Front ball joints, I'm thinking : Upper is late Metro/R100? Lower is apparently Mk1 Golf Track rod ends Metro non GTI/A Correct or not? Cheers Stew. |

Can't comment on the ball joints but on the TRE's you are correct but beware that some sites list them as imperial thread and some as metric. I went metric and they fit fine. Also beware that the rack ends have extenders - when you take the old ones off makes sure you don't throw away the extenders! |

Correct Stew, the upper ball joints are the standard Rover Metro / Rover 100 units. |

TREs are non GTi/a. Lower front: post20655.html Upper BJ are Rover Metro/100 front and rear. This might help with removal: hub-top-ball-joint-removal-t3018.html |

Hi Ian I haven't got one in stock to check pin sizes but I have always got the right one with these part numbers,TC207 or FBJ5056 (depending on your supplier). Bob. |

Those part no's also fit Porsche 944. Can we claim our GTM's have Porsche suspension? |
