Yes you REALLY need the seals on a road car, they wont last more than a few weeks before they start to have play in them otherwise in the winter on the salty roads!

Yeh these have been pressed into the lower arm ,but its just like a rubber cover which has been cable tied on.

Also on the end of the arm the ball joint which connects to the hub.Is there a rosejoint kit for this?

Not a kit as far as I am aware but the Gp A cars run them. Brom from Zoo Motoprsport posted a price a while back Other options include uprating that end to a Gp A Nove uniball type, if you dont want full rose joints. Someone was suppost to get me some worn ones to have a play with - but they never arrived

Kool so there is sum hope then

I did buy a kit for the ball joint end as you can drill the 2 big rivets type bits out and bolt it in .but wasnt any top make and didnt last very long.

these lower arms always seem to be a pain on mk5 escorts .Thats y i wanted to get these rosejoint ones in.
