I'm parting out, but don't know how easy it is to remove ball joints. See my website at http://mwb.myip.org/ or email me at maxima@mwb.myip.org.

Dude, I wouldn't recommend using used ball joints. New ones are like 28 bucks. They can be installed easily if you have access to an impact wrench and axle sockets.

Thanks.
are you looking for ball joints or a whole control arm?

the ball joints bushing type things are 7 .50 each from courtesy nissan

ball joints bushing things are not easy to take out or to install. you kinda need a hydrolic press to press in the new bushing ball joint type thing. and to take out i have a special way where you use a hack saw(if you dont have a hydrolic press). but i`ll get into that later

the ball joint assembly is actually bolted to the lower control arm.
it's about 60-70 (i think) from courtesy nissan...aftermarket is cheaper.

ok i know what you are talking about now... sorry i was refering to that round bushing thing ON the lower control arm.

its that thing where you have to use a hydralic press to push in that bushing thingy.

well it's not a bushing..it's a joint..like a ball and cup joint.
you need something to push that joint out of the steering knuckle at the bottom. a pickle fork usually does the trick...there are also other tools out there for this.
