Front upper ball joint

Post by **ADS1** » Mon Sep 10, 2012 2:59 pm

Hi guys. My front upper ball joint is on the way out.
As we all know, you have to replace the whole wish bone. £288 from Honda.
They are available on ebay for around £70 .As anybody used these ? Are they ok?
Cheers.
Tony.

you can replace the ball joint for £15 or a guy on here little-nevs is breaking a 4th gen may sell the whole thing cheap.

Tony it's quite easy to do just the balljoint as said. If you wanna take it off and drop it down to me I'll take it in work and use the press?

Cheers pete

I couldnt find a balljoint that fit my 4G upper arms properly so I ended up getting the £70 new ones. They have been fine.
