Does anyone know what thread the mx5 front upper ball joints are?

Aren't they pressed in ? I thought the ball joint came as part of the upper wishbone.

They are pressed in iirc, I used Moog ES2074R joint which has an M16x1,5 thread

ahh right, I know the bottom one is an M8 or 10 fine, I had a tough time finding a castellated nut for it. Sorry couldn't help more, I've thrown out all my original MX5 bits and pieces
