Rear Lower Control Arms

[scorsone]

I did do a search first, no results.

I am will need to replace the ball joints in the rear lca on my '91 and I was not sure if I could use the replacement ones for the front control arms or if they are a different size/design. I am in the process of replacing bushings around the car and I have completed the front end already. I was able to get new front arms from PDM and it was a good thing. When I removed the old arms the ball joints were pretty much toast and my mechanic and I decided that it was best to leave the rear alone until I had either replacement arms or ball joints to swap in.

I have found a few suppliers of the complete rear arm but if I could just replace the ball joints it would save me a hundred bucks or so.

Thanks for any input you all can provide on this.

Why not also get the rear arms from pdm?

It's a little more expensive than just bushing, but you are saving lots of time just buying completely new arms for the rears. You aren't really saving any money in the end just buying the bushings... that's if you can find the bushings for a decent price... then there's the labor involved to replace it.

thanks for the reply. I did not see they were offering the rear arms now. I already have the poly bushings that they sell just need the ball joint for the arm.

No, when I did it, I used them from the front of a B13 Sentra. Good luck.
