DO NOT GO TO BESTSUSPENSION/WORLDSUSPENSION.....Dubbya boight ball-joints from Arm-Can and they went bad but the seller said he went back to the old brand of parts he used to use and never had a complaint....my advice....buy some MOOG ball-joints and some ES bushings and just replace those parts.....i am going thru control arm issues form my eBay ones....if u feel saucey u can even paint ur old ones so they look new

None of them. Buy your LCA at the dealership.

It really sucks to install the ebay stuff, find out there is a problem a few months down the road, buy new parts, and do the work all over again. I wasnt amused.

Thanks y'all. i was thinking of replacing them since the car does have 257,xxx miles on it. I already have the ES stuff, and tie rods so I guess I just need the ball joints.

Yup, you will need the press to get them in. Just hammer the old ones out though. Make sure to remove the snap ring first.
