S13 Rear Ball Joint?

[rico05]

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck finding a replacement other than a new RLCA from Nissan. I have heard that B13 fronts will fit the S13 rear, and I have a set of them sitting ready to go, but I wanted to be sure before I spend the sweat and knuckle meat popping those little bastards out.

I already replaced my fronts, and Jesus....that was not fun at ALL.

There are some aftermarket RLCA's from Orangetree as well as a few others but they will all run you $400 and up.http://phase2motorsports.store....html

I would like to know if this works out as well. The rear balljoints are about the only thing I've not yet replaced.

I have seen some eccentric balljoints for the rear on eBay for about $150 shipped. Right now I am calling that plan B.

So git-r-done already and let us know for certain that this is a viable option.

Well, a guy on Zilvia used some B13 fronts and for the last several weeks (and a drift day) they have held up. I will probally try this next week (when I have the time).

Apparently, the actual ball is 1mm bigger on the B13, but the overall size is the same. The shank on the shaft matches, and the threads on the shaft match as well. We shall see.
