Post Balljoints

I want to replace the balljoints on my wishbones, is the #1 kit offered by KLA what I need for my 86 turbo with alloy wishbones (control arms)?

I read somewhere about an upgraded joint...

I already have the updated rear castor blocks.

Thanks.

Yes. We provide the internal bushings and new grease boots. You reuse your other internal parts.

Stan, since you have a 86 951, check out Figure 1 in the link. Replaceable ball joints and stronger to boot. Blaszak is Canadian so he might give a Brit a good deal.
