Hi all,

While i was driving my 93 FD, i felt the steering moving from one side to the other..... After checking the front wheels, i found out that my upper ball joint is very loose and need to change it. The problem is that the ball joint is embedded in the upper control arm so i can't change it. Tried to search for two new control arms but didn't find to buy.

Could i change the ball joint in some way or the other? Or can someone tell me where i can buy these upper control arms....

Thanks

You can't just replace just the ball joint alone, it's built into the control arm and isn't a seperate unit, you have to buy the entire control arm from Mazda, $$$$$$$$.

Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda sells them for $250 each. They come with new bushings and all that. Mazda Competition sells them for a little less.
