hey guys i have my first auto-x tomorrow at fostoria, ohio and i am prepping my car for it right now... as i was putting in my new shocks i realized that my upper control arms look pretty shot... the ball joint can easily be moved so i was wondering if it be of any benefit to me if i were to get some brand new ones... i know theyre like $90/ each at the parts store but i can get a pretty big discount on them... thanks a lot

You already know the answer to this question....but, incase you don't, here's a rule of thumb to go by: If its worn out, fix it.

 

Go ahead and fix them. The tie rods and lower ball joints probably need replacing too.

 

i was just wondering if they would make a big difference... i already got them though... just need to put them on... i am buying the outer tie rods next... thanks

make a difference? If yours are worn, then new ones will improve handling quality, no doubt in my mind.

 

replace them mine are all blown up and the car is no fun to drive anywhere.
