No ball joints listed on the link Anees, but bookmarked anyway for future reference.

Anuj, works out about 100 quid including postage, if the import duty is not too high or you get away with no import duty, then not a bad deal at all. The quote you had for £65+vat fitted is pretty darn good too IMO, and much less hassle than fitting them yourself.
Anuj
TF- the quote is reconditioned ball joints EACH.

would rather buy them genuine then get somebody i know to fit them

u think ill need anything else?there is defo play in the ball joint area....around £100 for 2x ball joints from usa (genuine OEM)

Yeah, I assumed that would be each. Fair enough, although if they are OEM quality then they should still be fine. I assume when they say recon, they mean they keep the existing cast iron part and put a new ball joint in it.

Without checking for play it is hard to tell. The top ball joint could have problems but I would assume they would've spotted that when they checked your suspension out. They are the expensive ones, as they come as part of the top wishbone. I changed my passenger side one recently 'cos there was some serious play in it but luckily I happen to have a spare wishbone for each side in my spares bin. Oh, and try checking the track rod ends too as they are also balljoints.
