Fiat Scudo 2004 JTD, drivers side steering knuckle help needed!!

My dad has a 2004 Scudo 2.0 JTD, unfortunately it failed the MOT on the bottom ball joint.

Although there is nothing wrong with the ball joint, just the knuckle where the ball joint goes in has worn away. Which is a common issue, we replaced the passenger one before as it had the same problem.

The issue is I can't seem to find a knuckle used for the same age of van, and new from Fiat is £600. :- Fiat part number ( 1334488080 )
Which is crazy money that my dad can't afford right now, on top of the other work the van needed.

There appears to be differences with the knuckles but I'm not sure what they are, an nobody seems to know either!

There's new ones on eBay, but everyone either seems to list the Peugeot / Citroen numbers only. Or the Fiat part number for the older model, which doesn't cross over to the number I have.

I'm a bit stuck as to what to do now, has anyone had this problem and any ideas where to get one at a reasonable price. Or can tell me what the differences are, so I can make sure I get the correct one.

Thanks, Paul .

This no good?

Still quite expensive though.

Cheers I did see this one an I might have to go with it, even though it's a bit pricey for a used part. That might not last all that long, but that's the risk you take on used parts. Since this is a common issue with these vans, just a bit aware that because it's got to come from Italy. There will be import tax / duties to pay on top too, which was putting me off slightly.

So ideally I'm just trying to get one in the UK, a new part would be great but the ones you see on eBay. Even though they are listed as fitting all three vans and all years, they only seem to be for the earlier vans going off the Peugeot / Citroen part numbers.

Buyer beware I guess! I'm talking to the local Fiat dealer. To see if I can get them to speak with Fiat UK, and try and do something about the price.

Wishful thinking, but figured it's worth an ask!

I'll keep looking in the meantime, and post up if and when I get a reply off Fiat UK or locate a part if I find a supplier for these elsewhere.

That's crazy ... I thought all three vans were the same being built in the same factory and a Badge engineering exercise .........................
Other than the 1.6 petrol FIAT Van to use a FIAT engine and being the only one to use a different make of engine ...............
Being the age these MK1 Vans are at good used parts are thining out ... would it be possible to weld up the wear and ream out to size   at a push ............................

So feel free to call me an idiot, but these vans all use the same parts, or at least thats what I understood.  A Citroen Dispatch part can be used on a Peugeot Expert or a Fiat Scudo?  So if that holds true, why couldn't you use say one of these?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333629815759
or
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363025805149

Both look to be the same part, but better price tag.  Or are you only looking for genuine Fiat parts?  Even if the pattern parts only last 6 months, it would still be better value than a £600 part.

My suggestion would be to buy one, see if it fits, if it doesn't return.  Its a hassle way of doing things, but if it fits, you got it for £40.

If JohnDragonMan comes on, he might know.
