Upper Ball Joints with OE style ball joints!!
So I desperately needed upper ball joint replaced on the right side. The only thing offered is =/- 1 degree correction ball joints which are more universal than oem replacement. I didn't want to spend $150+ per upper control arm new just to get them replaced. I almost gave up all hope and did one last search.
ball joints
coni-seal didn't call me back and only sell to dealers.
AUTO EXTRA # AXK90469
was found on ebay.
so I ordered 2 and hoped for the best.
I rented the ball joint separator and honda adapter kit and took it all apart. The old ones came out nicely and the new ones FIT!! took me about 2 hours total to do it all.
I didn't take pics since KaMLung did a very nice writeup replace control arm and only thing different is using the press to just replace ball joints vs replacing the whole arm

Can you get a shot of what they look like installed when you get a chance? I just did a search of that part number on eBay and have found three different stock photos of the part from three different sellers. I wonder if they are all the same.

What about this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-Extra-M...a#ht_500wt_689
It shows the part number as interchangeable.

what sound it made?
I have already hearing some sort of sound from my right side. I just bought my Camber Anchor bolts from amazon. hopefully that fix it. if not i have spare upper ball joints.
those ball joint are like $25.00 a piece on amazon,whats the warranty

i didn't see those on amazon. but if it's the same part, both are still way cheaper than the whole upper control arm that most just replace. 1 year warranty.

when my upper ball joints went, i just replaced the whole arm because at the time i couldn't find just the ball joint replacements...
i think i may have a spare arm laying around if all it needs is a new ball joint...

I've just put a pair on a couple of weeks ago. The diameter of the balljoints that goes into the opening on control arm are slightly larger than the originals, but they went on just fine with a little effort.
