Ball joints....

Hi guys,

Where can I buy the front lower ball joint for S13? Just phoned unipart in jozi and the guy said that they don't sell it at all (So much for the parts guide - or the guy I spoke to is a moron)

Nissan only sells it with the lower control arm = R1200!!!

Any help would be seriously appreciated

you can press the ball joints out - that way you would have a sample to take to the spares shops!!!

i would bet that other nissan cars have the same part - such as the old school skylines, the 300zx's, the sentra's, etc!!!

then buy it, then press in the new one!

Yes, I realised that that will be the easiest option.

As for the parts list - it is correct (just read it like a moron). Sorry mr unipart man.....

Heard that the ball joint is similar to the maxima one - will let u guys know so that it can go on the parts list once i've confirmed.

I had mine replaced at a ball joint place in midrand when I had the control arms out. Wasn't cheap though. I paid around 450 each iirc.

s14 joints work on s13 too.
