As has been mentioned elsewhere, the difference between the "power steering" and "XR2i and RS Turbo" lower joints is likely to be the mk3 vs mk3.5 difference that's the bane of many an H4 owner's life! The mk3.5s (introduced in 1994) were the first Fiestas to have power steering as an option and have different suspension to the earlier cars - the diameter of the shock absorbers increased from 44mm to 45.5mm (I think), along with different hub carriers and lower arms. The later cars, especially those with power steering, seem much more susceptible to problems with the wrong lower arms giving rise to binding driveshafts too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
