Ball joints? No kidding! I got my stash cheaper on ebay actually. Still, if they have them...

I couldn't get it to add Ball Joints to the shopping cart, not that I need them, I just wanted to see if it would work. Has anyone else had luck getting this to work? Hope it is not a NLA part that they have just not gotten around to removing the page for.

I bought one of the master cylinders myself. A local VW repair shop has bought one also and neither of us has had any problems. The core charge was around $2.00. I turned one in, not because I needed the money but just to make sure they had another for their rebuilders. I got ebay ball joints a few years ago shipped for for under $40 for a pair.

Napa lists them in their catalog but when I had the guy do search to see if he could get them it comes up "dealer item only" So i geuss it's a no for ball joints at napa

Also...thats a very odd looking ball joint. I have never seen one with nuts welded on.
It appears that those links are listing a RHD and LHD master cylinder. The dealer can no longer get the ball joints. Been that way since...about 1982. Ray

I have seen this style ball joint before, they definitely have their flaws, in particular they bend with time. They should not be anyones first choise if their are any other ball joints to be had. But unfortunately it goes back to beggars shouldn't be choosy.
There is a set of this style ball joints for sale on eBay right now.
