For my rear upper ball joints, i dont really want to change my whole control arm because its a little too much money, at least for now, can the rear upper ball joints be removed from the control arm? and if so, is it pressed in or is it also removable with a tool set?? Thanks

 

front n rear upper arm ball joints are both welded n not removable my man,service manual said change the whole assembly..... get a good cond used junkyard part if pocket aint deep....

 

ah dang it that blows, well i just have been putting thousands of dollars into this car and 360 bucks will take a few weeks to save up, but i appreciate the help on that.

 

Are you sure you need new ball joints?

I recently overhauled my rear suspension, and upon inspection the rear ball-joints only needed new boots, which were about $5 each from Honda

 

yeah i took it to get aligned cuz i thought i only needed to replace my front upper ball joints and outer tie rods, i replaced the p/s rack so the inner tie rods are good, and they told me the rear ones were bad, and rear tie rods, but i can tell too cuz when i jack it up, i can rock the tire back and forth and it clinks around, basically every ball joint and tie rod was completely dry rotted and ripped. So when im driving it swerves all around i cant keep the alignment to stay straight, it just goes back out of align after i straighten a tie rod. frustrating. it eats up tires, and pay checks. but after this, the suspension will be newer, my motor and transmission is a JDM swap so its basically new, STOKED
