Does anyone know if they sell OE replacements for the Ball joint in the Upper control arm? I've searched just about everywhere and I'm not sure if they even make it. A new control arm from Honda is about $120-130. I can get a used one at the junk yard no worries there, but I'd just like to know if it was possible to get a replacement one.

Forgot to mention it's for a 94 HB.

SPC is the only company i know that will sell a direct fit replacement balljoint. the have the adjustable ones, but also the non adjustable like stock. look on their website, but buy from their distributors for a better price.

it would be much easier to buy a used control arm with a ball joint already in it. Even if you buy the replacement, you still need to get it pressed on there.

Pressing it in isn't an issue for me. I already have the old busted ball joint pressed out of the control arm. Just awaiting a transplant if I can get my hands on one.

Thanks for the link, I'll check Napa too.

I think the whole arm needs to be replaced for eg's. I think I have my old arms in the garage. pm me if you are interested.

Prosuspension.com seemed to have the part I was looking for. Thanks for the offer though.

Can anyone tell me if you can replace just the upper ball joint on a 93 Civic? Or do you have to replace the whole upper controll arm with the busing in it?

Thanks

Through OEM channels you have to replace the upper control arm to replace the upper ball joint. That's the official Honda method. The OEM lower ball joint can be purchased individually, not the OEM upper.

If you go aftermarket, there are upper ball joints on the market. As already linked in this thread, Prosuspension makes one.

Talk about a perfect opportunity to invest in a camber kit...

I don't have any plans of lowering my car though. So the ball joint can be pressed out and another pressed in?

That's correct.
