Parts

Can anyone tell me if the lower ball joints for a 1990 Transport SE 3.1 will fit a 1992 Transport 3.8. GT.

I have a few parts for my 1990 Transport and would think the suspension / brake components be similar and fit the 1992 Transport GT.:smokin:

my local parts store lists 90-91 and 92-96 ball joints to be different. Price for newer joint is almost double compared to the older.
I hope this helps.....

That figures. I have obtained a lower ball joint , brand new in box for $10.00 on ebay. Says its for a 1992 Transport and its got a 19mm dia stud compared to a 15mm dia stud for the 1990 ball joint.

My 1992 Transport does not need a new ball joint but when it does at least I won't have to pay the UK GM dealer $175.00 he charged me for the last one. ( I was desperate) :smokin:

I just replaced my Lower ball joints in my 95 transport. They were 12 bucks each brand new from autozone...

I'm going to replace left balljoint. Asked for the price from local parts store: 70 Euros (~84U$) :frown: Luckily I have relatives coming from Canada and I asked them to bring me one..... Hopefully cheaper :rolleyes:

The GM Dealer in Manchester charges top $ prices then changes the $50 to £50.00, then adds outrageous postal and package charges. I now order from the USA, well in advance. Normal shipping time for parts is 5/6 days.
Even with shipping charges the parts are still less than half the UK GM dealer prices.

The last UK parts dealer tried to sell me an alternator for over $300.00 and then told me that UK Batteries were no good for american vehicles and tried to sell me a USA battery for $195.00.

The service from American parts people is outstanding, never once been let down.
