From my experience whilst the parts look similar in the EPC, the 205 seems to have the strongest, (thickest) parts - probably to do with the loads and weights involved?


Seems most of the "other" SS parts use the arrangement you have detailed above...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can split the taper ball joint on my ST205 camber control arm from the camber plate? I've tried all the usual tricks, short of a blowtorch :twisted: Is there a particular ball joint splitter that can do the job?
TIA
