04 TL balljoints
Happy New Year everyone!! Hope you all had fun and kept it safe.
OK, my ? is. I have an 04 TL 3.2L with nav and I need to change da front upper ball joints. Now I called da dealer and was told I have to buy da upper control arm and it comes together with ball joint. They said dat up to 2003 TL you could buy it separate and from 04 & up control arm and ball joint come as one even though you can take them apart. Does anyone know if there is a way to only get da joint and not da whole thing. Also, I bought a front and rear adjustable camber kit for TL, Accord and other Acuras.
Rear rods fit with no problems but da ball joints are too big and I cant make them fit. I took side by side pictures of da ball joints and you can see da differences.
Sorry but can't yet post pictures, maybe in 1 more week.
Any suggestions will be very appreciated

Ya dat's what I'm talking about. I just dont see Y change da whole thing if da arm is fine. I was just trying to find out if I can just get da balljoint by it self, if not I'll just go to da Honda dealer. I called da dealer and da price they gave me was $109+tax per side which I guess is not dat bad.

Sorry 4 da late response Lankan, been away.
I live in British Columbia, Canada. About an hr outside of Vancouver.
Da only good thing of going with da dealer is a perfect fit. My only concern is come spring and summer I'm readjusting my struts and lowering my ride again, I jacked it up for winter. Hope da stock joints can adjust enought for da wheels to be align properly.
