Where to purchase new ball joints?

[KenC]

My control arm ball joints are in need of replacement. Yes, I know that I can just buy whole new arms, but I have access to a press and it will be much cheaper to do it myself.
Does any one know where to get replacement ball joints?
Also, has any one used the BMP urethane boots? Do they just slide over the top of the ball joint? The OE ones are attached to the control arm itself.

Any tips?

Thanks,
Ken

Didn’t you just replace the control arms no more than two years ago? Just curious as to why they need replaced so soon

Got a new car. The ones on the old bronzit are still perfect.

I've always been under the impression that the ball joints on the aluminum CAs were unserviceable...

Yeah, I'm curious how you plan doing this... pressing in may not be so bad, but pressing out seems like a PITA...

Anyone need a complete set of ball joints?
Brand new, I'll sell them cheap.

bumping this thread, i know it's a dumb question, but if the ball joints are included when you get the control arms, is there a second set. i'm trying to find prices and i can't figure out whether i would need to buy control arms, ball joints, or both.

New control arms come with ball joints.

i need to bump this.

WHERE CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT BALL JOINT??

I pressed the old one out successfully, and i need a new one to press in. Pelican doesn't have them, so who does??

(btw i am taking about the larger ball joint that has the long shaft and bolts to the subframe.)

its really easy and cheap to press them out and back in.

and you can replace them in the alum arms too
