Default lower ball joints and rubbers 411 mk 2

I also have two UPPER gaiters to suit 409 - BCL sent 4 upper instead of
two upper and two lower.
If they can help with a later car,let me know - happy to loan them to an
Australian member.

Also, Claude over in NZ has a wide array of front bushes and kits excess to
requirements that he wished to dipsose of a while back

I am looking for lower ball joints for my 408 Mk1. I know Jaguar will work for the upper (as mentioned above) and the rebuild kit mentioned above is still available but I suspect ther lower ones were a stock item used by some other manufacturer - did anybody find an alternate 3rd party part for this?

A little research suggests that the UR73256K kit is suitable for: 1965-1980 RR Silver Shadow I, II & Bentley T1, T2. Unconfirmed, but could be a good place to start.

Prestige Parts shows this part number is for seats and seals. The gaiter can be obtained seperately (Part No. UR13269SA)

Thanks. I think I'll be OK without rebuilding them. They are operating smoothly and there's an adjustment screw in the bottom to take up any excess plaay.
