wasup CL is there any place i can buy JUST the Ball joint for Upper control are not a complete arm Thanks

 

You have to replace the whole arm. The balljoint is integrated into the control arm.

 

can you tell me whats the best aftermarket Control arm i can buy

 

alot of forum members have been buying the upper from ROCKAUTO.com

 

I just replaced mine with the Beck Arnley ones. Perfect fit and car even drives better (no more noises and looseness. Not perfect,but much better)I also installed the Daizen steering rack bushings and Prothane sway bar bushings.
Note:i replaced the arms because the ball joint was
dangerously loose.

 

i have the same problem my ball joints are loose to the point where u can push in the tire and see it move, where can i buy the Beck Arnley control arms?

 

rockauto.com has them.

I got mine from advanced auto parts for $125 each,no tax. I work at a dealer so i got a wholesale discount and it went
under the dealer name,hence no taxes. Very similar price to Rock Auto with shipping and a coupon code. But i figured i'd just go down the street and get them.

 

thanks the prices are Crazy cheep , 1 question tho Lexus dealership sells this control are for $500 and some change and over here its $124 are these made in lower quality or what??
also another website was sellin the same control arm on rockauto for $243 !

 

buy them from rockauto or this ebay member toyolex parts. i bought mine from him and 2 years later no issues

On my almost 12 year old car,these aftermarkets are just fine. They looked pretty much the same as the OEM. Not only were the ball joints really loose,the bushings had alot of play too. Killed two birds with one stone in replacing the arms. Be sure to "exercise" the ball joints before installing the new arms,same goes for lower joints too. This means you rotate or move around the threaded shaft of the joint to distribute the grease evenly to prolong it's life and reduce/eliminate squeeks.

 

Thanks for the info ill buy both sides by the end of the week along with the bilstein HD shocks and maybe lowering springs
