So im looking into replacing my stock balljoints. From what ive heard i have to replace my upper control arm as well, is that true? So does anyone know of the best brand for the best price? Thanks

 

check out www.rockauto.com. i just priced out ball joints about 180 bucks for both uppers. with those you can just replace ball joints after that and not the whole control arm. id recommend buying new alignment kits to go along with the new control arms.

 

Thanks man ill check it out.

 

Napa should be cheaper.... Yes, you have to replace the upper control arm. However, the bottom you can just replace the joint.

 

Honestly once you see how the upper control arms are made you'll realize you can't get the balljoints out. Even if you could, it's still easier to take out the two bolts that hold the upper control arm to the frame and put put in a whole new arm.

 

ok thanks.

 

your napa must be a lot cheaper than mine... rockauto has beat napa's prices by at least if not more than 20 bucks on every part ive purchased in the past year... the last time i went to napa was because they had it on the shelf and i needed it right then...

 

I get the mechanic discount!

 

97 Triton use this discount code if you purchase them at rockauto - 5D0B53AA4D6A. is should save you about 10 bucks
