Default RSX TYPE-S lower ball joints where to buy?

Iv been looking around for stock ball joints Honda can't get them? It looks like the whole huib must be bought.. Has anyone tried the buddy club ones, SPC, or any other type? Suggestions?

No you car sorce these second hand at most auto part stores, if you get one get the Moog branded ones. Great quality parts, yes you pay more in the end, but peice of mind you got a good quality part that is very important. Iv replaced mine on my ep3.

hardrace roll center adjusters are good if you have the $$

otherwise...something at autozone or oriellys should do fine

or any other brand really

the reason why i say this is because there is no such thing a an oem lower ball joint. they sell the whole piece (knuckle or control arm i forget which one) and that'd be mad expensive to replace.

autozone should have them somewhere...if not theyll ship them to that store for you.
i just got whatever they had at autozone because i needed them done asap. i believe they were duralast

cost me 17.86 each. so even if they fail soon i wont be too heartbroken over the price.

I bought mine at NAPA. Check their website, they have everything listed. I had no luck at Autozone and got fed up trying to explain to the 16 year old employee what a ball joint was...

rsx isnt even listed on your site GTFO

and im absolutely sure they dont make the lower ball joint by itself...its only available aftermarket(either oem style replacement or performance replacement)

unless you want to get a whole new lca you cant get oem

Can the 07 Accord ball joints be used in our knuckles? And can they be used in 02-04 RSX-S front knuckles? I have the type s from a 5 lug swap. JOINT, FR. BALL | Genuine Honda | 51220-SDA-305
