I'm in the sloooow proces of restoring out '93 Mini Rahiti and the ball joints I bought where a pain: needed lapping in and the provided shimms where not enough. And after 5 months on the front subframe, the nuts are looking rusty. So not the quality I hoped for.

Yesterday I ordered a set of 4 NSR ball joints at guessworks to be shipped to NL.

I'm dreading all the rubberboots I bought previously
Guess I have to prepare to order the "valiant" brand (if I remember correctly)


(Anyone any experiance with those Valiant parts? My memory is letting me down here, but I do remember an add on "better quality rubber parts" with a name sounding kike that..)

Being in NL, go to any auto parts shop who orders at LKQ. Ask for 23083 SET. This is a SIDEM brand set left and right. Very good quality. Don't buy it from a cheap online source, there is a lot of fake stuff around.
