    Re: everything is soooo dry ..

    No, but if you hop on Rockauto.com you can find everything you need. You might need:

    Right upper control arm (comes with balljoint)
    Left upper control arm (comes with balljoint)
    Upper control arm bushings (2)
    Lower control arm bushing (to frame) (2)
    Lower control arm bushing (outer) (2)
    Lower ball joints (2)
    End link kit (may come in packages of two, if not buy two)
    Sway bar bushings (to frame)
    Tie rod ends, outer, (2)

    The tie rod ends and ball joints you can't really tell if you need them unless you can tell us how much play is in them. You DEFINITELY need sway bar end links though, I bet you anything those just fall apart when you take them apart.

    Re: everything is soooo dry ..



    Whats not in that picture
    Tie rod ends
    Lower ball joints

    Again, i can't guaruntee you need ALL of those parts. You absolutely need the sway bar bushings though. Usually, those are referred to as an End Link kit.

    You can find these parts at Rockauto.com. Stay away from ebay, they usually sell chinese garbage that will have you doing this job again in a couple of months.

    Re: everything is soooo dry ..

    I'll probably need all of them , what I have on the car is probably 25 years old...
    isn't there a rebuilt kit for the upper arm assembly .. why do I need the arm itself?

    p.s.
    what about the rear suspension?

    thanks!!!

    Re: everything is soooo dry ..

    The ball joint isn't removeable from the upper arm, so it comes as a kit. The bushings, however, don't come with the kit so you'll have to get those seperately. Luckily on the rear, theres only one ball joint and its very easy to replace. Comes as an arm as well.

    Question Re: everything is soooo dry ..

    the marked ones can be pressed out?
    if yes , are they identical to the lower ones (those that are not marked) .


    I don't mind using my old arms and pressing those out , because the shipping of new arms +joints is expensive to Israel.
    also ,is the bushing kit needed for the upper arm is the same as the lower one?




    thanks,
    Adrian.

    No one sells just the upper joints you have to buy the whole arm.
    I can't read the signature rules so MrBen deleted my signature.

    Yeah the upper ball joint can be replaced on some of the arms sold. I got a post on it somewhere but I have goto work or you could search under my name in this section.

    EDIT: https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64456

    I think I got them from Partstrain.com or something like that/ Get the part number and shop around prices vary alot of the internet.

    The lower ball joints are differant part. They look somewhat the same but they are a differant part.
