   I need some ball joints. The naff ones I bought off ebay last year were pressed in, but the joints are mega tight. One of the rubber boots was knackered too, so all in all a wasted exercise.
   
   I've been on 106 parts (I need some chassis items so was going to get it all in one).
   They list two ball joints, with one being nearly £30! the VTS they're going on is a 2001 - thinking the cheap one will be the item?!

   or any other place that is recommended? The car is track only.

   Take the boot off and put it back on after it's pressed in.

   Presuming the eurocar parts ones are recommended?
