Need a passenger side ball joint for a 2wd cossie so have to buy the full arm, but I see people advertise ones for 4×4 cossies and standard mk2 sierras but are these all different or does the cossies have different ones to standard sierras. I know the 2 different types with the crown nut and pinch bolt but are cossie ones different length to standard sierras?

Also any site online I could buy of or will I just hit E-Bay. Main stealers here in Ireland are crazy price for parts when you mention Sierra!

I must admit that some of my pattern ones have lasted better than genuine ford, so that's what I use now, usually QH.

As I Know:

STD sierras and 3DR Cosworth are nut type

Sapphire 4x4 are pinch bolt

Sapphire 2WD are the two types, I have one 2WD with pinch bolt ('87) and one 2WD with nut type ('88)

Ai well this one has pinch bolts so am I right in saying that they are the same as 4×4 Sierras? Say for example this one?

got mine from graham goode,fitted them a couple of days ago along with new tie rods.The 2wd sapphire uses the same as 4x4 sapphire/escos and 4x4 scorpio.Obviously it has to be pinch bolt but the difference I could work out from the standard sierra is the hole for the crossmember is smaller.This make no difference if you are using polybushes,simple swop.These are my findings anyway plus the standard arms are over half the price cheaper,GGR sent me quinten hazel arms the QH number is QSJ 1198S R/H,QSJ 1197S L/H.You may aswell order new pinch bolts too,Number QSK226S<Thats for both sides.Any motor factors should be able to get you the parts off those numbers.The ones in that ebay link may not fit with standard bushes,my local A2 or A2Z had three different suppliers sent them all back all wrong for the Coz due too the bushes.
