hey guys, just jacked up my 91 hatch today, to check the suspension out. turns out that both my upper ball joints are shot, as well as the right hand side axle. when replacing the ball joints, what should i buy, and how much will it cost.. can i just buy the ball joint part and push them out or should i just buy the whole upper setup? stock replacment. thanks,

matt

 

I went on majesticHonda.com and picked up the whole upper control arms for $105.00 a side... witch to me for genuine Honda arms thats not bad at all! moog wants likw $145.00 a side....

 

I just picked up a set from Parts Source (think canadian autozone), for 102 each side, lifetime warranty.

They told me that you cant get the balljoint for the uppers, you need the entire control arm, thats why it was so expensive. Lowers were like 25 bucks for lifetimes...

 

just checked the Advance autoparts website. They have upper ball joints starting at $43.00 and control arm and upper ball joint starting at $93.00

here is a link to the oem honda setup for 107- per side

you can just replace the ball joints... (90-91) If it where an 88-89 you HAVE to replace the whole upper control arm... you shouldnt really need a press to replace em but its gona be a bitch without one...

 

sweet thats exactlyt what i wanted to hear ha its a 90 si


thanks,

matt
