Title: Steering knuckle Post by: Drbagheera on December 22, 2014, 08:47:22 am Hi
Having real trouble removing the bottom ball joints on my 2.2 project. Anyone have an old pair of knuckles/ hub i could use and try to change the balljoints on? I seriously doubt anything i find could be as as rusty as the ones I have!

This is from the bagheera - but looks the same to me. It is the circled upright which houses the wheel bearing, connects the steering/torsion bar and shocker. It houses the bottom balljoint too which is a screw fitting. I do not know if the 1.6 differs from the 2.2 but I would doubt that if only on efficiency grounds.

Wheel bearings are seized but lower balljoints are actually O.K. Title: Re: Steering knuckle Post by: Oetker on December 22, 2014, 08:47:46 pm I think there are differences om the items showed from the bagheera.
The lower ball-joints are smaller and dust-plates and cylinders are not the same as far as I know. The 1.6 and 2.2 Murena have the same front/ Only numbers for the frontshocks are different. Torsion bars and stab bar are thicker.
