Beware of spurious products on the market as these are a safety critical part.

BEWARE OF CURRENT SO CALLED GENUINE ITEMS AS THEY ARE NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.

Genuine Xparts used our same kit but with different top locktabs that held the metal brake pipes on non disc brake models pre 1984.

Early production cars and kits pre 1984 never used these loctabs anyway!

Unipart also supplied these during their last years as GSV1152 but with 2 later type locktabs for brake pipes. Sold individually per hub set.

The Mini is the classic front wheel drive,heavy engine unit in the front car that really abuses the front suspension and the entire load is transmitted through the top and bottom ball joints. They do wear and should be inspected when you're working on the CVs or wheel bearings; when you detect slop, replace them. This kit includes one upper and one lower ball joint, locktabs, some shims, nuts, washers, Everything except grease nipples LN10051. Only 2 of each of the 3 sized shims are included in the set,extras are available as part number 2A4242.
