 |
|
I don't have specific 1303 balljoint experience so I would like to hear what others have to say.
-Are all of the replacement ones oversized to fit snug in a distorted control arm bore? Are they splined/knurled?
-Do the control arm bores get enlarged and even need a oversized balljoint?
Thanks! |

If your control arm is damaged, find a good undamaged control arm and replace the ball joint if needed with the correct tools / not a hammer. Never seen an over sized ball joint for a late super beetle. |
