Default nearside front forward lower arm ball joint

got an advisory on this at the last service , so with an MOT coming up decided best to fix it

does anyone know the MEYLE part number for this ? looks like it must be the same irrespective of where it is fitted

the number quoted on the suppliers website is
116 020 8228/HD

they also quote 8EO 419 811B

does that sound correct ? and about £21 delivered a sensible price

in their blurb they say a bigger ball joint than OE an 4 year guarantee

Tat part number is track rod end, arms do not have separate ball joints, it comes as a complete arm. Meyle part number would be MEYLE 116 050 0031/HD for arms with 16mm taper. If your car had 20" wheels from factory suspension arm would have 20mm taper and Meyle doesn't make those.
