    They do fit. I have a set of arms on my VR4 that came off a V6.
    1997 Mitsubishi RVR HSGR : 2.0 4G63T, 4 seats and the seating position from a truck
    2009 Ford Mondeo : 2.2TDCi, 4 wheels, some plastics, some metal and some seats

    Indeed they will fit. And I am now looking how to get one of these old buggars off the Legnum! It's only hanging on the pressed in part. I'll first do a search.
    sorry for offtopic

    Something like this:

    But if you're not going to re-use it, then you can use this:

    Not re-using it! And tried the last tool, but no luck yet. I'll need one of those special tools-thingies. Thanks for the ebay link.
    And again: sorry for the thread hi-jack!

    Hehehe, at the the 2nd link.

    I recently used the scissor type ball joint splitter, as linked to in the first of Alex's links. Works a treat.

    To be honest... I have lot of those ball joint tools. But this type is the best (mine is from Facom):

    Much faster to work with and it will not give up untill the job is done

    Looks good, I'll go and buy one of those for the next arm I'll replace! I finally managed to get it out 1 hour ago by hammering down on a big crowbar with a flat end the I rested on the ball joint bolt. Suddenly it just popped out. So 1 arm is now replaced. The old one actually seems to be in better nick than I imaged, no play on the ball joint up/down/left/right at all... well you know I bought the new ones for next to nothing from "dutch driver"
