So, is the GSJ 269 and QH1060 ball joint considered to be a better bet than the GSJ 268 and QH1059S now? I have a "new" old stock QH1059S that is 14mm wide at the top of the taper, the specification must have been correct at one time? I only ask as I will update the info for the Alternative Parts List if you can confirm that GSJ 269 is the correct item, or MOOG RO-BJ-3409?? I will add to check the top of the taper is 14mm dia for now.

Impressed that you got the ball joint off with a big spanner and a long piece of pipe R1NGA, only an impact wrench would move mine.
