Default what ball joints can i use for 02 base rsx

I need to replace a lower ball joint and after calling honda and acura I've come to find out that you can't just buy the ball joint seperately but a couple of my local auto parts stores can get them seperately but the ones for the rsx are kinda spendy so I was wondering what other ball joints I can use(01-05 civics em2 and ep3 or any dc5?) Any help please

the rsx and ep balljoints are the same except for the 05-06 model, they are bigger. SO yeh, why dont you order it from rockauto? I got mine there and its really good and affordable. Been running on it for like few thousand miles. just a thought......

you need to be careful when putting in ball joints now you can get them but honda has a special tool looks like a washer but you use it to check if the opening the ball joint gets pressed into is to big or not if it is you need a new knuckle and bearing
