bizz Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hi Guys, I am getting on with my build and whilst I am waiting for the transmission mount to be machined I started looking at the other parts I had and I noticed this... It's not too easy to see but these are two different sizes. Is this right? Or do I have one UK upright and the other is JDM?? Thanks in advance Bizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 When you say size do you mean the thickness of the end of the ball joint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizz Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yes mate. I think the angle or diameter on the part which you tighten down on to is slightly different as it doesn't sit very well on the lower arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 If you are talking about the seating cone this is a separate part and Nissan recommend its replaced at the same time as they will wear which maybe explains the difference between the two?

bizz Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 The inner diameters look completely different on them too. Check out these pics from a sligthly different angle Do the seating cones come in different I/D's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Bizz, The issue that you are having is with the seating cones. The uprights are the same. The lower arms are the same. Some ball joints are 14mm and some are 16mm. If you fit the correct seating cone then your issue will be sorted. If you require preowned uprights complete with ball joints, boots, cones and nuts, or preowned lower arms then just drop me a PM as I have plenty in stock. Remember that there are 3 or 4 different cone sizes throughout the front suspension. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
