    Rear upper arms/joints

    The ball joints on the rear upper control arms aren't replaceable right? You have to buy the whole arm?
    Sorry I'm too lazy to check on my car now
    I just got a REAR UPPER BALL JOINT from autozone last week and whoppedy doo my way out without thinking. It's even listed on their web site.

    The upper rear joints are replaceable, however honda will not sell you the joint itself that i know of, they'll sell the hole arm with joint.

    I currently bought the Ingalls rear camber kit and they do not come with balljoints, i had to get the rear arms from Honda and swap joints. Swaping joints must be taken to a machine shop for pressing out the joints, you cannot do this yourself.

    Now i have the set of OEM arms without joints, if anybody is intereseted these are OEM Honda arms.

    OEM for life! Now and for ever.....
    I'm not taking any chances specially on suspension parts, don't go cheap or you could regret it.
