So I took the car to get wheel aligned today, and it needs new front ball joints and bushes.

Bushes are easy. Looks like I want the eccentric SuperPro ones, as suggested by the suspension guys (http://superpro.com.au/find-superpro-parts-for-my-vehicle/part?id=SPF3297K).

Has anyone replaced the front ball joints? Any idea where to get a replacement set from?

Paul, no price yet, he was waiting for some callbacks.

Josh, nice find. Anyone know if V35 ball joints are the same as NM35? I know some stuff matches up, other stuff doesnt fit because of the front drive shafts.

$70 isnt too bad I guess. If theyre the same as V35/350Z I'll give Nissan a call too.

That sounds way too expensive. Is that what everyone is paying?

Whiteline want $80 retail for the non eccentric ones. I cant imagine it costs $70 to drill the hole in a different spot...

Car Torque should be, they're the Adelaide distributor. But doesn't it seem like a lot for a hunk of eurethane with some metal in the middle?

Does anyone know if V35/350Z front ball joints are the same as NM35s?

For those looking for this information later...

The V35/350Z front ball joints should be the same, and you have to get them from ebay as Josh showed above, i.e.: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-FRONT-LOWER-BALL-JOINT-Set-NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-01-07-/190450769457?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c57c01e31#ht_2375wt_1180

Only available from Nissan complete with the spindle. I was quoted $806 per side. $1612 vs $70... I know what I'm doing!

its alright, i worked out what the noise was, it wasnt the fuel pump, it was the 4wd pump constanly working becuase the relay is half stuffed lol, got a new one on the way. the car is still classed as a repairable write off anyway so i still cant drive it on public roads :(

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
