The EDS pack might mention locost, westfield etc. But the joints they are selling in the pack are correct. The maxi ball joints & transit links are as specified in the Haynes book. The only difference is the MK2 Escort TRE's instead of sierra. Having seen both types the sierra ones are handed and have an offset joint. The Escort ones are identical left to right.
I have bought the EDS pack and all the joints fitted perfectly.

Thanks for the replies but I'm still not happy. the first pic is the TRE with the rubber removed . The liitle ring around the taper is where the taper is cut on to the shaft. It a definite step and this step is inside the taper hole when the TRE is fitted. This means it's not sitting on the taper correctly.
 Even when in the taper and remember this is without a nut on, it has very little movement. Again don't forget that there is no boot on.  Similarly the drag link without the boot shows how close it is to the top of the mushroom and why I can't ream out the mushroom any more. Again it has no nut on so will be even closer when done up.  Without the boot on it has little enough movement. With it on it'll have next to none.

 It's possible I may be able to use these drag links but it will mean turning down the top to allow more movement and turning out the inside to allow a full nut on the thread. The TREs will not be fitted. I'll have to work something else out. Is it possible with these being from a diesel that they're different?

Think that was the problem I had with my tre the first time round. The taper wasn't right. Maybe its an age thing with theuprights. Sierra tre should be good. Not sure about the drasg links, keep us posted.

I guessed that was the case with the draglinks. Trouble is I spent £50 on these and don't want to waste them. I'll probably rework the mushrooms to fit. As for the Sierra TREs do you know which side I need to order to get the RH threads.
