Just got the uppers out with the pickle fork below, and an 8mm hex socket on top using a 3 foot 1/2 inch breaker bar with reducer.
Went to Napa to get ball joints, but could only get Ocap ones for $44.15 each.

Autoparsway.ca has Lemfoerder for 37.31
and Moog for 23.51
Free shipping after minimum.

I have the steering rack on the bench for the Powerflex bushing install,and one outer tie rod end, but need to get this back on the road soon.

What say you? Lemfoerder, Moog, or stay with the Ocap ( Italian made).

The Lemfoerders are the best. That's who made them for VW.

I put some NAPAs on mine this summer, so far so good. The price was right and no shipping. Ordered them in the AM and was installing them in the PM.

Do you remember the brand, and the cost, thanks, Chris
