So my ex-wife works for a dealership so she can get parts at cost from the local Nissan dealership.
What part numbers do I need to replace the OE ball joints and steering knuckle.

my driver side knuckle joint is somehow damaged (dunno how). i called up the dealership and asked for the assembly.. it was priced @ $2500 ...................
on ebay, a used (in a good condition) one was for $150..
i still didn't fix mine, the clicking noise is bothering me, but i cba to fix it.

Theres no way it could be $2500. Is this with labor? Even still thats ridiculous. Id recommend going with a new one, since you never know what a used one has been through. I was quoted 400 plus a couple hundred in labor to replace mine with a new OEM piece, from a reputable shop.

we end up buying from abroad to save up! most things aren't reasonable in this country.

I haven't looked under the car to specifically check the ball joints, but I haven't had an issue with the eBay one that I purchased years ago. I've been to several track days and even more autox's, drove across country a few times, and daily drove on them.

Just to be clear the lower ball joint, refer to the bushings for the steering knuckle, right? Because the dealership told me there is no replacement bushings available, which is why the price so exorbitant on the knuckles. That duralast model looks to be pretty solid, but I take that megan racing roll center adjuster is also the bushings for the steering knuckle? Thanks.

With the dealership there is no replacement for the balljoint. They can only see you the entire assembly. If you're trying to replace just te bushing you should make sure the greese isn't bad or there's no dirt in there

they are not bushings, they are ball joints
if I want to just change the boot with energy 13009 and fill it up with grease would there be anything wrong with going this route as opposed to changing the ball joint with the duralast
thanks
