ball joints?
 

anyone know a good place to buy ball joints? at a afordable price i dont want ebay shit and at $30 a peice at autozone seams pretty pricey but if thats my best option i gess i will have to buy them. so any help?

Nissan, MSA, BDA, Autozone, etc... where you get all Z parts.

I buy a lot of my parts at RockAuto Auto Parts

thanks man i was trying to figure out what that place was called!

Avoid O.E. Brand ones - they're the wrong shape/size for our control arms, and don't mount flush. In my notes, I have the following part number written down: ISO/TS16949:2002

I replaced them with Moog K9292's. Fit just like the originals.

Yeah I just bought some from autozone with a life time warranty And I hoppe they fit! They come in tomarow

I've also had good luck with the Moogs

i should of went to o-reilys they had moogs

Yeah autozone gave me the rong ones I returned them and ordered the Moogs at o-Reilly's

moogs are a quality product but no relation to the moog synthesizer

Yeah i got the moogs the other day,they look like way beter qualiy then the autozone ones

Center link
 

Do you guy know we're to get a center link for a good price the cheapest one I found was 300 Its not broke its just the ball joints on the end are worn

Half Shafts ?
 

The u-joints can be replaced, less than 20 $ each, here is a link to motorsports

Merged w/ previous thread.

I thought you already got new ball joints???

Thanks I should of done that the first time and I gess I asked the rong question . On a center link can you replace the ball joints on the end or do you have to but the whole piece?
If you do have to by the whole peice were could you get it cheap because I can only fine them for $300

Ah, gotcha. No, they can't be replaced by themselves. A much better alternative would be to swap in a rack & pinion. :D

But I boaght like $100 of ball joints :(

Do you know if s13 rack and pinion would fit?

wait wait wait... what exactly are you trying to replace? ball joints or tie rod ends?

He's talking about the ball joint connections on the center bar of the 79-81 recirc ball steering setup (click his link & look at the center link bar).

Male... the actual ball joints are the same from 79-83. They bolt to the bottom of the strut / inside the control arm. The other "ball joints" are tie rod ends. So of the $100, what parts do you have?

I bought inner and outer tie rods as well
