Hey y'all, I'm pretty sure this is the correct shape but a little help identifying this would be great:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Volvo-340-343-345 ... 41535bd8bb

Is it the correct part?

Also, how would I go about removing the old ball joint? Is it a PITA or will a big hammer of truth do it?

Looks to me like the correct part. and yeah, a ball-joint separator of some description will do the job just fine.

should look like these:

which i think it does.

pretty crap picture tbh, try and ask if he can get a better pick to you.

they both are the correct items for the 300 series.

balljoint seperator isn't essential; big hammer also works

Cantilever ball joint splitter, all the other types are useless.

^ If you want to reuse stuff you remove they are def FTW.

As for changing them, the old wedge it in and fuck the boot fork job will do it.

The cantilever ones are easier too, but if you love hitting things with hammers the fork type take some beating (see what I did there?).

You use a whisk to beat eggs so I dunno what hes on about.

Gonna call it a fail and deduct 10 pts.

I hope you're deducting them from yourself. A fail pic that in itself is flawed. That's a massive fail, but not big enough to become a win.

Also, you could have edited it so it was more relevant to us. Albuquerque indeed.

Dunno what youre on about.

God job we have the ability to quote pics.

"You should have taken that left turn at Alburquerque." Aint very legible.

I blame the internets.

As a poor craftsmen will often blame his tool.
