Alert Alert
Just to make you all aware, many on Ebay are offering bottom ball joints for Maverick and Terrano, they are not suitable, they will alter the camber by 20mm so making the vehicle dangerous, I wanted to alert Ebay to it but could not find the right path, maybe Zac can do it, Rick

The pre 96 MK 1 square headlight models had the shorter bottom ball joints.
Might have one somewhere to take a dimension from. |

Here is a pic for reference, the one on the left is correct for all the T2's I have owned, I did have a 95 for a while but never looked at the joint in question, Rick

so it looks like to me from ricks pick is the length from 4 fixing holes to center of the swivel is a fair bit longer then thus putting camber out.

Always been the case if you fit the earlier mk 1 lower ball joints. Pulls the wheel in at the bottom and puts the camber to shit. |

You’re better off sticking with blueprint. They list both types, and if you eBay the part number they’re pretty cheap from some of the bigger sellers

I've always used blueprint, especially on my toyotas and daihatsu's with no failures upto now. Can't comment on the balljoints yet as i've not replaced one on the maverick yet lol |

Not the worse brand out there by far and most blueprint parts I've fitted have lasted fairly well,just not the ball joints. |
