Searching for"Ball joint / side arm "

Dear all,


I'm searching for these parts for my Routemaster RML, I don't know the term you call it in English , maybe steering ball joint OR side arms ? I didn't find how to attach photo on this message. Please contact me by email.

I have to change quite urgently ,( driver side, so right side ) , 1 piece at exterior which is near the Wheel and 1 piece at interior .

Could you please suggest where can I find it?

Thank you very much.

Christphe I've E mailed you. You need a side arm L1 -0218. They are not handed, same part on both sides. Don't know if Roy Gould has one or if Imperial do them. Hopefully Roy or the other Roy will tell us.

My bus number (if any): RTL 960 RMC 1458, RM 1585 and loads of RTs

Re: Searching for\"Ball joint / side arm \"

Sorted I think I've got a used one on the shelf.
