No, ball joint going so doing it pre-emptively, hoping the forum comes up with replacements before the other 6 need doing though!!! but as I said, you need to spend to keep these old girls in their best condition, it is that or don't get one IMO.Have you got another one cracked Greg, or is that just a precaution?

If you are thinking "the worst that could happen is" you will almost certainly be surprised and not in a good way!
Back to that French blue 3200GT. That's the one I'd buy.
I've decided it's not for me so I won't be going to look at it
