Festa MK3 Lower Balljoints
Decided this is worth a post of it own... 
Are the MK3 Fiesta lower balljoints the same dimensions as the Sierra ones?
I only ask as the Fiesta ones appear removable and so perhaps could be attached to the lower wishbones. That'd be a damn site easier than boring out
the lower hole to fit a maxi one.
Any info greatfully received.
Thanks,
James

done a couple of cash jobs for me and I can give you directions.

Oh, ok if you don't think it'd work. 
I'll have a look at a MK3 again and decide- just thought it'd be a simple option!
