D40 Extended Ball Joint Product Recall

[DaveHAT]

For those who've fitted extended ball joints like I have:

This can also include anyone who's purchased extended ball joints from Toowoomba steering and suspension as Dennis buys from the original supplier.

Cheers.

The extended ball joints mentioned would be in their upper control arm package?

Are you going to pull them out or carry on ?

Waiting on advice from the supplier on how to proceed. I'd imagine they've probably had a few calls today.

Removal and replacement is likely ... rather remove and replace a $150 part than potentially sacrifice a $20000 rig.

I called today. The upper arms have this ball joint.
Before i purchased the arms i purchased a 'lone set of ball joints to push into the standard arms which i never got around to doing-or selling.
On the list waiting for their decision. They suggested most likely a replacement but at worst a full refund.

The recall was on the batch affected.
It's illegal to sell.that batch and thus each and every set is to be accountable for no matter what.

Basically you can't buy the bad ones anymore only new ones
