Here is the French link - https://www.deloreango.com/fr/spax-fron ... r-kit.html - as Mr.Bloke says you need 4 x 100478A

I would also recommend upgrading the top assembly since the old ones can fail - for this you need 4 x 109089 and 4 x 109087 (and 4 x 109085 if you want new nuts too)

Order just done :D
I've tried to buy 2 club stickers but didn't find them, does it still exist?

Could you also please tell me if you saw the link on eBay for the wrench, does it fit the castle nut?
Thanks again for your help and sorry for all my questions :oops:

Stickers - I *think* we’ve run out, I will see if I can find any today, if not we’ll do a new one in the next few months.

Spanner sizes - no idea sorry, isn’t it just an 18mm spanner? I have no idea what that is in inches, I’m too young :)

If it is 18mm there is no direct AF spanner equivalent. The closest is 3/8 whit or 7/16 BSF.
17mm is pretty much 11/16 AF & 19mm is 3/4 AF
& yes I am old enough :lol:

All right, then I will order the sticker when it will be available again.
You're right about the wrench (spanner) it it 18 indeed. (exactly 17.5 I think but its fine)

I received my parts, thank you very much.
The new ball joint match perfectly on the arm, I didn't drill much I think.
Can you please tell me where to drill the hole for the pin?
I guess it is a 3mm hole?

It's a 3.2mm hole (1/8inch), as for where, personally I don't know (does anyone else?). I think you will need to attach it to the car first - as per the original instructions - download/file.php?id=9688 - which do say you should drill the hole after the ball joint is on the car and the nut is on tight.

All right, thanks for the information.
As for the hole, I thought you might be able to measure it on the original one?

Unless this one isn't drill at all?

The originals didn't have a hole... that's why the this document was released as a recall, which told the dealers to drill a hole.

I have updated the picture on the original ball joint now - no hole: https://www.deloreango.com/fr/upper-bal ... ginal.html
