Re: Ball joints

Thanks you DUTCH and 512bbi (my father and i's favorite Ferrari growing up), no lie. And Inkbolts I appreciate the input yet on some other posts they said the cheaper ones have a tendency to get bent, so I found the OEM part for under $100, so why not.

Balto, my good man... If you read the first few posts it will shed some light as to whether or not your time has come.

Re: Ball joints

P.S. - EPC-net Online is not that great. Very difficult to use and find parts. i.e. - tie rod end, and spark plug orientation. Not really diagrams, just random & un-categorized.

Definitely NOT random and un-categorized. Alles ist in Ordnung.

Most of us find it very easy to use, once you have worked with it a bit.

Tie Rod: Section 46/120.

Spark Plugs: Major Assembly M/15/060

Ganz Einfach. Alles ist in Ordnung.

RE: Ball joints

That's funny, I wish it were quite simple as you state.

I'm used to a Land Rover parts manual where with a keen eye, you could figure out the job yourself.
With that said, I've attached a screenshot of the section you directed me to: Tie Rod: Section 46/120

I don't see a tie-rod.

I've also, attached a screenshot of the area I was seeking help in a spark plug diagram, surely you didn't think I meant what a spark plug looks like. Major Assembly M/15/060

I don't see a spark plug attached to any part of an engine...


I also posted about the differences between the $50 some dollar service manual and the almost $300 service manual and nobody knows anything. hmmm...

Thanks for your input, but I don't believe I'm using the grand EPC system correctly.

Sorry. My mistake. It's VA -> 33 -> 560.

As far as the spark plug locations go, I think they ass=u=me that you'd know they go in the engine.

Re: Ball joints

Thanks, just looked at it. The plugs were pretty easy, I do like to see schematics though, beggars can't be choosers.
