Rear suspension arm ball joints

[stevey_b]

I just removed the ball joints from my upper and lower rear arms on my FD there, is there any other type of car that would use the same ball joint/bush as nowhere near me stocks them.
Even if I got close to the size that was a wee bit bigger I could get lathed down as car is up for MOT soon
Cheers

There called pillow ball bushes, are about £60 each from Mazda, Atomic Rex do a spherical bearing that fits. I seen one for a Vectra which looked similar and they only cost a tenner.
If you find one that\'s machinable you would become a legend.

Yea I know they are crazy money. I need ones in a hurry so I\'ll be seeing what\'s available, I fitted ones to a vectra a few weeks ago and yes they are similar alrite.
Also ones for a is200 ar like £50 each so used a Peugeot one I think it was at £20 and took a light skim off it and done the job.
Just wanted to check if anyone knew of any to save some time messing bout and measuring
