Parts in the UK

[NorthFace]

I have a 99 V plate explorer that has just failed it's MOT

Basically I need the following parts:
Left Front Upper arm and ball joint part#4669389
Left Front Lower ball joint part#4668089
Rear brake pads pre sep1998 part#3648797 post sep1998 part#4565830

The upper arm and ball joint is the problem part - Ford have had them on back order since July and still have zero in stock.

Does anyone know to a good (good=fast and cheap as possible) source for these parts?

Thanks.

OK I have been doing some research...

I believe the Moog K8695T (lower) and K8708T (upper left) will do the job. Can anybody confirm this?

Also, if I change the left side to the Moog parts should I also change the right (K8710T)?

Not sure if you part #'s are correct as I own a '94 but yes I would do both sides at the same time.

OK - will do.

As I am in the UK does anyone know to a UK Moog dealer. It seems any Ford Explorer parts in the U.K. are very hard to come by.

I know I can order form the U.S. but with shipping, import taxes, VAT and all the other stuff I have to pay the cost really adds up (>$200) plus I have to wait over a week.

I have been searching/phoning all day but can't find any suitable parts in the U.K.

Any help?
