Replaceing Ball Joints

#1

Anyone ever replace their control arm ball joints? I see that these are sold and was wondering how to replace them and what I would need.

Thanks,

Michael

I just replaced both sides on my street car.$120 for both shipped, with 4 new balljoints already installed. Took about an hour to do both of them.

I got mine at Pelican. They were on sale for something like $112 for both sides. RoJo Imports on E-Bay sells them for about $60 each.

FCP Groton has something like 40 sets for $114 plus $10 shipping.
