Ball Joint
 

Does anyone have the part # for the front right ball joint? Not sure if they are the same for each side. Mine is suddenly squealing like a pig.

Do you have to remove the lower control arm from the car to replace the ball joint?

Don't think I want to get Steeda's ball joints as I don't want to have to buy the bumpsteer kit just for a new ball joint.

Anyone know a good aftermarket ball joint that won't require other mods?

It might be cheaper to get the Cobra front LCA's from Joe Charles.
Ford racing has them.

Re: Ball Joint
 

I thought we had the Cobra LCAs on our Machs.

Re: Ball Joint
 

We do.
By the time you buy the X2's,
you might be able to get 2 new arms
complete with bushings and ball joints.

Thanks. So the question is, do I have to remove the LCA to replace the ball joint? If yes, then I will just buy a new set of LCA's since I have to remove them anyway.

Do you have a link to this Joe Charles Racing store? He doesn't show up on Google.

Send Joe a PM.
Member name is Itlrun.
He can get Ford racing and Steeda
and can probably do a cost comparison for you.
You do not have to remove the arms to replace the ball joints.
That is, if you have a ball joint press.

shouldnt take more than 2-3 hours to replace the ball joints or replace the entire control arm. either way is fine. id prolly go with new control arms myself.

I see a Ball joint press on Harbor Freight for $36. What size cup adapter is needed to remove and install our ball joints?

Also, does anyone know the part number for the ball joint?

So do we already have Termi arms?
