Rear lower ball joint

[JimT]

Hi all.

Will need to change the rear lower balljoints at some point. Both sides.
Probably not until next year.
After doing some research it appears maserati sell it as part of a kit only.
Anybody had this issue? Is the part available from other sources?
Does anyone know of a substitute part maybe? Otherwise you have to alot tou don't need.
Any info greatly appreciated

Thanks

If a wishbone ball joint has gone the kit that Maserati sell is the upper and lower which one with the hub carrier. They come as separate items that you bolt together but once bolted they cannot be split and we have seen them come pre bolted as one unit also.

Hi

Right I see.
So it's a kit for a reason. I assumed it was just to make you buy more.
I wonder if a ferrari part would fit.

I don’t think they do but check California

I'll check.
Worth a look
Thanks

Seen the lower suspension arm as a used part from low mileage vehicles. Is that the hub carrier has to be damaged in order to remove such a part?

So not possible to just fit the lower wishbone arm then?
