Ball joints in the rear of an s13 hatch? or are they bushings?

[OM3GA]

you wouldnt want to buy a new arm if you have the old bushings out and sleeves and have new poly bushings pressed in already would you? And plus id rather go with some MOOG ball joints for the rear also and have them be regreasable Which would be awesome.. I didnt go with the moogs though.... Maybe later.

So just to be 110% sure the front lower control arm ball joints out of a 89 sentra will fit in a 89 240sx rear lower control arms?

Stock ball joint is 38mm. I measured it today.I'm going to go to NAPA and order the '89 and B13 joints, measure them and return whichever set I don't use.

I need ball joints too. Just removed my this morning. Can somebody comment on whether the correct part # is:

K9449?

OR

K9633?

89 is not b13 , 89 is b12. Just go to NAPA and order MOOG 1989 Sentra front ball joints. I just pressed some into my RLCAS and they fit like a glove.

[swinter]

Thanks man. I really appreciate you confirming that for me.You rock! Off to NAPA tomorrow!

[Slappy]

Good luck. Just make super sure when you are pressing them in that you do it slowly and that they are going in evenly. If you see that they are'nt , gently press them back out and start over.

damn it.. guess i gotta get new ones now too. sorry for recycling the misinformation (even though this thread is pretty old).

thanks for clearing this up once and for all.

Sonova b*tch. I find this thread after I buy a new s13 LCA just to get the balljoint.

And right after I posted bragging how gud I sertched, too.

Oh well. This thread is noted. Slappy you aren't a god, but you are at least a demi-god.

[Slappy]

Slappy you aren't a god

Never claimed to be my friend.

Nevermind... I found it...

[maj Andres]

hmm... can anyone veify if the S14 LCA the same as the S13's? I checked on courtesyparts.com and they look identical, but looks can be deceiving. I would love to replace my worn out ball joints on my S14

[OM3GA]

back to life whoo! anyways yeah im pretty sure they are the same.. not the arms themselves but the ball joints...

[maj Andres]

ball joints not the same for the S13 and S14....

Just get front ball joints for the S14.

I just finished rebuilding my rear suspension, and I replaced the lower BJs while I was in there. I used Moog front BJs for an S14.

I checked the taper, and all other dimensions, and the new front, and old rears matched.

Moog part #9820 for the ball joints.
