Default rear lower ball joints

ok i searched found the question im asking but never the answer... I need to replace my rear lower ball joints and nobody seems to sell rear lower but only front lower. can anybody confirm that the rear lowers are the same as the front lowers? im not trying to buy new knuckles and go bankrupt. thanks in advance.

honad does not sell a separate ball joint. its a sold with the knuckle
best bet is to experiment i guess.

That may be a costly experiment if that ball joint fails on the highway doing 90mph.

Call and ask honda themselves.

i have a set, balljoints are in pretty good condition, a little stress wear but no tears in them. However, i cant get the cotter pin out for the life of me. I would love to sell them to you but i can't get the damn cotter pin out. I actually needed them myself for an inspection but was forced to buy them from honda...with the knuckle....for $700.....

Honda will say the same thing their parts numbers and parts diagrams say.
They sell the ball joint with the knuckle...int eh front OR rear.
