I have a 96 Accord that needs a new upper control arm ball joint. Can I just replace the ball joint or do I have to replace the whole control arm w/ball joint assembly? I called a local Honda dealer and was told that the ball joints are not sold separately. I'd have to buy a new control arm. Is this true? It doesn't sound right. I'd appreciate any pertenant info you guys could provide. Thanks in advance.

 

I guess no one knows?

 

Well, I've always heard the same thing - you have to buy the upper control arms. I guess maybe I was hoping someone knew about a new way to get just the ball joints?

If they do not show it, you probably cannot buy the ball joint seperately.

 

your 2 options are:

either buy new arms from the dealer

or, buy a camber kit that will replace the upper balljoints or the whole assembly if you're planning on dropping your car in the future.

 

Call Autozone and see if they sell them. When I replaced my lower balljoint, they had an entry on the screen for an upper one.
