You can get TRW upper ball joints from Classic Ricambi. http://www.classicricambi.com/ I haven't found anyone that carries TRW lower ball joints.

Ace, I don't know about the TRW's ones but you can get MOOG ball joints from Rock auto, but other wise you need to call the typical Fiat vendors and ask who is the manufacture.

Re: Where to buy TRW Balljoints
I cant seem to find any lowers..Uppers yes, no lowers.
Moog are interesting, they were formerly Federal Mogul. The other day i was helping a friend put together a Merc Pagona, and noticed that he had ordered MOOG balljoints/tie rod ends. I look on the box...Made in turkey....not what i wanted to see.
Not sure where their Fiat ones are made though.
At least i know TRW are German made with TUV compliance.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Re: Where to buy TRW Balljoints
Thanks Matt, but MOOG are not made by TRW in Germany.
I realise they are supposed to be a quality Ball Joint, but was told they are made in Eastern Europe now!

Re: Where to buy TRW Balljoints
Ace,
Neither TRW nor Moog have made balljoints in some years. Federal Mogul owns both brand names. The ball joints I've bought from Federal Mogul have been made in the former TRW plants in Germany and Turkey. Sometimes they've come in TRW boxes but more recently in Moog boxes.

Re: Where to buy TRW Balljoints
The Moog ball joints I bought about 2 years ago on Amazon came in Moog boxes. Box says made in Japan. I'll have to look on the joints themselves to see if the actual parts say otherwise.
In terms of country of manufacturer, I'll take Germany and Japan over any place else, unless USA was an option.

Re: Where to buy TRW Balljoints
I dont want turk or eastern EU manufacture. Its a bit of a lottery these days what you get and where they are made, which is a shame.
