What bolts were you using? the proper pinch bolts from vaux that have a shoulder? or just normal bolts? :o | |

Bought new ball joints and bolts, still too much play for a test so had to get new hubs... | |

Plus there is a slot cut in the ball joint that the pinch bolt goes through so there is no play :) | |

On a 2000 car yes :lol: Ive had a few corsas and never had to replace a hub :o The reason there is a slot cut on the hub for the ball joints is so it gets a tight grip when the bolt is tightend | |
