Greek term

αγγονα τιμονιού

Greek to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
As before, this concerns repairs/maintenance to a jeep.

λασποτηρα Π.Δ. BTR277
αλλαγή λαδιού, **αγγονα** τιμονιού STC 1044

αγκώνας;;

There's some evidence (if you search for the reference number STC 1044) that this may be a 'drop arm' or 'dropped arm', but I'd prefer to have an informed opinion...
Some first-hand knowledge (or useful links) about what this αγκώνας (?) τιμονιού is, what it's for, what it does, what it looks like, would be much appreciated!

Dylan since Andras does not want to answer it for the glossary , shall I answer it ?
STAMATIOS FASSOULAKIS Apr 26, 2008:
Hi Andras is not only the points it is also the glossary. We must put the translation to the glossary for future users.

Thank you, Dylan, but I don't deserve any points.

I agree, Andras deserves points for the very useful information. Andras, please make the relevant entry in the glossary. Many thanks for pointing out that this is a ball joint, i.e. part of the drop arm (not the whole drop arm). I've looked at some more of the relevant terminology (found by searching for 'steering box drop arm').
STAMATIOS FASSOULAKIS Apr 26, 2008:
Dylan thanks for the wishes. You had your Easter a month earlier. Now concerning the drop arm are we going to put it in the glossary? Ask Andras to do it because he was first and deserves the honour and the points.
Dylan Edwards (asker) Apr 26, 2008:
Easter greetings to everyone!
Dylan Edwards (asker) Apr 26, 2008:
Thank you very much. I have found, for example, "range rover drop arm ball joint kit".
STAMATIOS FASSOULAKIS Apr 25, 2008:
Put in the google search "range rover drop arm" to see the picture of it.
STAMATIOS FASSOULAKIS Apr 25, 2008:
Good Friday
STAMATIOS FASSOULAKIS Apr 25, 2008:
Dylan what you are looking for is the drop arm which has a bushing at the end. A repair kit is normally available for such part. We are having Easter in Greece and today it was God Friday that is why you don"t get much of a responce.
Andras Mohay (X) Apr 25, 2008:
Yes, I think so.
Dylan Edwards (asker) Apr 25, 2008:
