This might fit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fiat-Uno-1-0i-8v-45-FWD-Ball-Joint-Lower-LH-1992-1993-FBJ5077-/260908809545 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fiat-Uno-1-0i-8v-45-FWD-Ball-Joint-Lower-LH-1992-1993-FBJ5077-/260908809545)

Or this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ball-Joint-Fiat-Ducato-/150676886280 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ball-Joint-Fiat-Ducato-/150676886280)

or this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-PANDA-LANCIA-Y10-BOTTOM-BALL-JOINT-PAIR-QH-/120560296778 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-PANDA-LANCIA-Y10-BOTTOM-BALL-JOINT-PAIR-QH-/120560296778)

Measure the originals and try to get some measurements of the other Fiat/Lancia single ball joints. I'm sure the 131 Abarth ones will be the same as something else in the Fiat/Lancia range.

Thanks for the response!
Thotos: they look very much the same, i have to investigate, Thanks!

Enzo: Yes its a  Al italia safari model witch was used in the safari rallye in -79, with only 3 left in the world,The guy who owns it visited me yesterday and got some parts for his cars!
Tried to help him with the control arm, i was surprised that it was aluminium,it was just like the one in cast iron, the car was used to early 80-ties!

He is building 2 exakt replikas of this car..

I am going to visit him later this spring and take some photos of the car.

Se his homepage:http://www.ntsmotorsport.se/fiat-131-abarth/

Click on the yellow parts for movies..
