Front Ball Joints

[xbi0s]

Hey,

Im looking for front ball joints.. I just wanna see the price field on them...

here they are asking $65 and some odd cents for one...

Is that norm/cheap? I need these before I can put the coilovers on

www.rockauto.com has Moog for $33 and ACDelco for $34 each.

They also have other parts for our cars priced reasonably as well, such as the upper control arms, tie rod ends and various bushings. I know because I just ordered all of this and more for a suspension overhaul. Turns out the clunking sound on every bump was coming from the loose upper ball joint. Also my tie rod ends are extremely loose. I'm replacing the original springs & struts too.

BTW, I recently replaced one lower ball joint. I bought it off the shelf at a local parts place for $22 + tax and got it installed for $10 at the shop in the back.

Excellent! Thanks bro.. I just did my tie-rods and they told me the ball joints need a replacing

Thought I should do that before I put on the coilovers

If it's the front upper ball joint, you might as well go the prelude arms with new ball joints route, since you're going to put on coilovers.

Look in the how-to and the many other threads about it. Search prelude arms

I just bought my new ball joints (lower). The Moog one was $44 (got it as a free upgrade) and the other (TRW?) was only $18.95. They came from a Bumper-to-Bumper, but I priced them similarly at Autozone and NAPA.

Cheers,

thank you, I know that both moog and trw are top quality suspension parts, for those of you that don't know, a lot of professional suspension repair shops use moog parts. very good quality. excellent reputation. I would never put an unknown suspension part on my car. will check out the prices
