I think you can still get them from ford they dont just press in though mate you need some force to get them in. Powerflex one's are £16.90 from burtons

You need to buy the complete arm/the ball joint is fixed so is the inboard bush.

the inner bush on a MK3 is replaceable, not MK4 though. Mk4 ones are better however

The only difference is in the inner bush, if you want to put poly bushes in the MK3 will be better as you can remove it. Mk4 joints aren't removeable, but are the better of the 2 for standard applications
