Anyone able to assist? Bought a car with the bottom pictured spherical bearing ball joints. Are they legal for road use? Require cert or are they WOF compliant? Any issues with them? Are these much better than standard ones (as shown in top of pic connected to steering arm?

Definitely needs cert, needs bump steer check for cert if it changes geometry in any way, need to prove the joint is of good quality for cert, often they are cheap china rubbish, they dont last as long as a normal tie rod end cause theres no boot to keep shit out, and they often bind at a shallower angle than the factory tie rod end.
