Hello again, I have a 1991 Q45 and today I tried to get a wheel alignment. The shop did an suspension check and they said that I needed to replace my front L/R side ball joints. Do any members have any suggestions as to where I can get replacements for a reasonable price? Also I read that I can use the Nissan 300zx ball joints because they are supposedly interchangeable. Which model 300zx ball joints can I use, NA or Twin Turbo? Has anyone done this before? Thanks, your help will be greatly appreciated!

A 300ZX ball joint will press right in.
...for far less than ordering and waiting for a new lower control arm.

EDIT: Assuming you have a 90 - 96 Q45 (since it wasn't mentioned)

Any 90-96 300ZX should have the same ball joints

Note that with the Z32 ball joints you need to also use the Z32 ball joint seats as well.
