Default ball joint help.

these detroit streets tore my uppers up. the wiggle even with the car sitting. problem is nno one carries them. autozone murrays, etc. only carry the whole upper control arm for 110 bucks but my ball joints look removable. is there anywhere else?

never found anything else...

some things suck owning a prelude...like wheel bearings cant be installed without the whole hub

but like 98vtec said you can prolly find just the ball joint direct at honda

your lucky i paid 200 for each control arm

you cant just get the ball joint from honda. i replaced mine a year ago and had to buy the whole UCA. its soo much easier anyway to just replace the whole thing.

you can get adjustable ball joints from ingalls, spc or kmac to replace your bad one. you just need a ball joint press from a local auto store to get out the old ones.
