So I had my car checked out due to me noticing my steering has been not so tight the past couple months. Just recently had an opportunity to actually go and get them checked out. I have function and form type 1s on my 95 civic. Do I need to buy a specific ball joint and inner tie rod to fit? Or can I still use stock stuff?

 

Use all OEM parts.

hondapartsunlimited.com is a great place to find these parts at a good price.

 

alright, thanks for the response. I appreciate it.

 

I would use OEM tie rods. I do not believe you can get OEM upper ball joints separate from the upper control arms. I bit the bullet and spent ~$90/side for new OEM UCA's with ball joints included, a few years back, and have not regretted that decision. They're still holding up great.

For lower BJ's though I actually recommend Moog with the blue urethane boots, over OEM.

 

Patrick is right, you can only get the new upper ball joints in the control arm.

 

I'm shopping around for both ball joints up top and just the drivers inner tie rod. Got the Inner tie rod for the passenger side for $15 at autozone. Seems to be great so far. I didn't realize how bad the rest of it was in such bad shape. I did however decide to get the full control arm, adjustable. Wether it needs it or not, my tires last foreeeeeeeeeever!! I love warranty!

 

I used Autozone lifetime warranty tie rod inners and outers. They are made by Moog. I did use OEM Honda for the steering rack boots though.
