Re: Please help ( Draglink )
Not sure, If I am think of the same part you are describing then you can't, you have to replace the whole drag link.
Try these guys, don't know if they still there I use to buy with them when I was still in PTA.

The balls can be replaced and the cups in the link are available from the stealers.

Re: Please help ( Draglink )
Yip Muddog is correct, the pitman arm and j-arm ball joints can be drilled out, and new ones pressed & welded in, by a decent engineering firm. I had it done on Bolt, made a substantial difference to the steering!

Re: Please help ( Draglink )
I bought a complete new draglink from Gemini Parts in JHB. R450-00 (in 2008)
Maybe they sell the ball for the pitman arm and J-arm too?

Re: Please help ( Draglink )
Ulimate 4x4 also sells the draglink for around R500; not sure if they have the ballpins as well. Might be worthwile to phone, just maybe they'd have the cups seperately too....
