hey there, im in the process of replacing my lower ball joint but cant seem to find any replacement part for it beside getting the whole spindle from acura. which isnt a choice for me at this point. anyways, i been searching and saw someone stated that we can use the 2001 PRELUDE lower ball joint in replacement for our 2004 TL lower ball joint. now i'm wondering is there any truth to this? before i go and buy it and try it out. any comments will be greatly apprecaited.

 

MOOG Part # K500117
RAYBESTOS Part # 5051370

 

i dont want to go with moog part as i found out while searching that the moog part is a defective design.

 

Bolt was too small, what about Raybestos, that's another name listed?

 

i will look into that. didnt see it. but if anyone can LMK if i can or cant use the prelude base or SH lower ball joint, i'll rather go with OEM.

 

You get any update to this thread?

 

Gotta love people who just come on to the forums to leech information and dont care to contribute back to help the same community that helped them.
