How hard is it to replace the upper ball joint. Can i just take off the controll arm, press the old one out and press the new one in?

Are they cheap?

TIA

 

I havent had to replace an upper...but I took off the control arm to replace the lower. I bought a new joint for like $35, and then paied 20 to get it pressed out, and back in at a local shop.

I"m pretty sure the uppers dont press out..I just replaced the whole upper arms when I did it....pretty simple.

 

You just get new arms all together. You can get them from Honda for $91 (Online) or from Autozone for $70

 

eh that sucks, will i mess up the camber kit when i take them off, and have to get it aligned or something?

 

like Jason(marked001) said, you do have to replace the complete upper control arm
its not that hard to do though, and it didn't mess up my camber at all, i replaced both my upper and lower ball joints at the same time.
for the upper, theres just two nuts you take off from the top, and one where the balljoint connects to the knuckle/hub. although you have to take off your shock to take the control arm off too, its a good days project
