hey guys as we all know i hit the 200k milestone. as of friday i pull my car in to the rack at school for a suspension inspection . i've been hearing not only that aswell as feeling a clunk while turnin under my foot of the floor board. i already wanted to upgrade my compression rods wit the spc if im correct. so my search lead me to find i have a busted oozy ball joint which as done its full share of controlling but is now done. my question is can i find some decent ball joints to replace the done off oem ball joints. as im lookimg to take care of this matter this weekend. i would gladely like some info on this matter. as i see from my inspection that i would have to un bolt the steering knuckle spendle and press the ball joints out.if im correct on this or not pls correct me . i also found them to be at 200 a side on courtesyparts ouch . that could be a mod or reflash pls any suggestion and links to perferd ball joints will help thanks guyz
z's up !z

 

SPL, Energy Suspension or OEM are your only options at the moment

 

SPL and Energy Suspension have replacement ball joints?

 

No, my mistake. My mind was fixated on OPs mention of the compression arm.

People get killed by object fixation. LOL


Actually no ball joints from energy suspension , but if your are good they do offer replacement dust boots.

 

off top thanks
i'll be sure to look in to this.. im thinking about replacing my bushings too JUST BEEN SO TIRED FROM CLASS AND STUDYING.. HAVEN'T EVEN CHANGED MY OIL YET AND ITZ BEEN LIKE 2 K over right now f^^k

 

for ball joints check ebay. for bushings i got the energy suspension front kit from IPP for $120 shipped

 

I just replaced my ball joints and bought new boots from energy suspension. The ebay ball joints run 60 bucks and come with boots if you dont want to buy some. I would recommend buying the 13009 boots though because they fit perfect. If you go to the stealership they will make you purchase the entire knuckle because they dont sell the ball joints seperately.

As far as removing the ball joints, just go to advance auto and rent out there ball joint remover. Its pretty easy and doesnt require you to removed the knuckle. I reused the oem nut but the new ball joints also come with a new nut and cotter pin

 

There are four under that number. Which did you choose?

 

cool i was like dam here come the dismantle of the knuckle, but where can i equip some dust boots from or do these comes standard with the order the of ebay ball joints?
