On 92 SC300 which control arm ball joint (Upper or Lower) supports Spring.
Which ball joint is the load bearing ball joint.
I want to replace the control arm ball joint assembly on the front wheels but only the ones that are load bearing. Is it the upper or lower control arm? Which control Arm is the Spring on (Upper or Lower)?

Thx

Lower Control Arm Ball Joint is Load Bearing.
Typically to replace the ball joints on these cars the entire arm needs to be replaced unless you plan on cutting one off and welding a new ball joint onto the old arm
