Pardon the potentially dumb question but would each be a pair or each means a single item?

Thanks for all you do for our community

They look like plated steel to me.

Spoke with a few OB owners at 3rd Coast this past weekend who have had aluminum ball joint failures. Just ordered a set from Roger. TY Mark T

It was a joke - albeit a subtle one.

Are these the same size as the late superceded steel ball joints or are they the same size as the early aluminum ones?

Big brake conversion people want to know

That a really good point.

I got all the front arms and suspension stuff from a S4. I also got Brembo Blacks from a 944T. They're not fitted though, they're sitting on the garage floor along with a bucket of bolts.

What balljoints would I need even though it's a 1980 model car ?

I'd need balljoints to suit an S4, right ?

What other bushes go in there that will need to be replaced ?

They are identical in size to the Lemforder steel units and yes if you have S4 suspension you will need the later joint
