Just need to know.....Is the front lower ball joint the same as the upper ball joint thats found on the control arm? Or is that ball joint completely different from the other?

Reason being, I'm trying to just press a new ball joint into my UCA, but no one has a part for the UCA Joint.

 

 

You have to buy it as a unit.

 

no they are diffrent.

upper arm new at dealer price is about 110$, complete.

 

Damn, I know napa or Autozone carries these ball joints right? Their online database doesn't show it though!

 

Let us know if find one I have not been able to find any

I searched through HT threads and there were quite a few posts about picking them up at napa or autozone. I just dont know if I need to request it or if they dont sell them individually, or if they wont sell them online, or what?

 

You can't buy the upper ball joint only.

You have to buy the whole upper control arm.

Right, thats what I understood as well. But I've read some members on HT actually buying the joints at napa, getting them pressed onto their original arm, and throwing it back onto their car.

 

Why wouldn't they sell the damn ball joint seperately? Makes no sense to sell the whole arm when 9 out of 10 times, the arm is fine.
