Apart from the no show at the local stealer , none of the spares suppliers could/would supply me with any parts. Got my backside in gear and went to Goede Hoop Onderdele http://www.gho.co.zain Brackenfell. What a pleasent suprise. Got everything I needed with a smile and at a good price too. They also stock the complete shaft as Mitsu does but will let it go for just under R1k.
Here is my list of goodies with partnumbers and prices:

The Idler and Pitman Arms were fine and needed no replacement. While stripping we found the result of the wobble. A bearing on the right front inner shaft has disintegrated. Basically because the dustcover was not fitted properly and came loose and exposong the bearing. This according to the workshop manager. Mitsu does sell these as seperate parts and hopelfully this will be delivered this afternoon as promised.
Inner dust seal (5) R 41.00
Bearing (2) R 105.00
Outer Dust Cover (3) R 31.00
The best quote in Paarl for Cv replacement was R1200/wheel. I thus decided to use the bit that was "saced" and ordered a replacement radiator from SR Radiators (021 862 5965).
Genuine - R 2860.00
Aftermarket R 1 350.00
All now that is left is to get everything fitted before Sunday's outing. It's been a while since I have doen any trips.
