Lower BJ Replacement

[/6 Matt]

So the lower ball joints on my Dart in my sig is bad. I can't justify paying $200+ at Autozone for ball joints just because they come attached to that...... "thing"

BTW, what are the things the lower ball joints pressed into called? It's not control arms or the spindle... Steering knuckle? Steering arm? I can't get proper terminology going here.

So yeah, I'm not spending money to buy a ball joint and a new steering thingy since my old steering thingys are still good. Does any company out there just make the balljoint itself that you can press in and out of the steering thingys?

If so, how do you press out/in the balljoint?

Thanks in advance guys.

LOL The steering arm is intrigal to the ball socket housing ( cast as 1 ) . If they weren't we might find 1 part for both sides, like our upper ball joints.
Good luck with whatever you do.

So it's a steerign arm!!! Ok. And the ball joint is integral with the steering arm...... great. :banghead:

Do you have front disc brake or drum brakes?

Cause there is a big difference in price....drum brake ball joints are alot cheaper then the disc brake ball joints.

So the price on Autozoo has changed once again and it looks like the lower ball joints will cost $146 before tax.

O'Reilly's and Advance are even more expensive!

Anybody know where I could maybe go to not get my wallet @$$raped for ball joints?
