Just a quick question which may have been asked before:

Are ball joints replaceable on 4th gen JDM droplinks.

I want to replace ball joints on 4 gen rear arb drop links.
These OEM ones look stronger than the aftermarket replacement ones so would prefer to fix them.
Lings only list complete drop link.

Where can i get replacement ball joints.... :?

They are replaceable, held in by a circlip and press fitted. I did this about 8 years ago, I went down to the local MF's and had them dig around to get the right size with the part in hand. No idea what size that is now though. It would not surprise me if they were the same as the upper balljoints though.
