Do anybody happen to know the sizes of the rose joints for the rear wishbone inner mount, and the track control arm hub mounting?
I've been hunting a 'clonking' sound for about 8 weeks now, yesterday I finally managed to get the car into the air, all four wheels off the ground. The source of the mysterious 'clonking' was immediately obvious, both are gone so need to be changed asap

I would say wishbone inner 1/2 x 5/8 unf, track control 1/2 ×1/2unf for the front connection 1/2 x 3/8 for the rear connection, but I would need to check the rear one.

Hi Griff,
I can have a look in a minute as mine is in the garage waiting for a new rose joint.
The rear tie bars may not be all the same mine is fitted with left and right hand threads, when mine was originally built it would of had rubber bushes not rose joints, I just dont want to give you duff Info.

Griff,
My rear tie bar appears to be 7/16 into the wishbone and 1/2" into the tie bar, but as I said mine has left and right hand threads but I cant see which end has which type.
