Are these good ball joints?

Post by launieg »

From a http://www.kijiji.com for sale listing:

"I have for sale a pair each of brand-new upper and lower ball joints for a '74 Fiat 124 convertible - they appear to be genuine Fiat (not aftermarket) parts. Also available - some parts in an opaque plastic bag labelled "Shock Absorber Mounting Accessory Kit"."

Does anyone recognize these? Are they any good? What should I offer/are they worth?

Thanks.

I thought the originals had zirk fittings.

See this link for info about some known problem ball joints. Yours do not look like the known bad ones.
