Finally got the motor mounts in the car (after a solid year), and now I have to put the entire front end back together. A side effect is that I got to see just how crappy the rubber bits are.

I need to replace by ball joints. Who currently has the cheapest rebuilt control arms? I thought about rebuilding them myself, but I'm a little skittish about messing up and the consequences of a ball joint popping out on the road. Was open to decent used arms, but haven't seen any for sale. Ideas anyone?

I just did my ball joints with the rennbay race kit, very easy no plastic bushing, I would go this route or aftermarket arms. on a scale from one to ten this is a 3.5. job.

If you don't mind my asking, what was the procedure/tools required? I'm shy of things that require a press as I don't have access to one.

you do need a press to do ball joint replacement but it's very very easy. a good c-clamp or vice could get the job done i suppose
