[SUS_1]

K here is my problem i need rear lower contal arm ball joints for my R33 gtst and i have called every were looking for an aftermaket one and all i get there is not one listed or it is under development to be realsed at a latter date. I have also called nissan and all they say is i need to buy the whole arm which i dont want to do.

K i have now found rear ball joints for my car.

What I did was remove the ball joint, measured it then checked out a couple of different one's to find out that they are the same as the front ball joints

Nissan do not list a separate part for the ball joint they list the control arm with the ball joint fitted and they are expensive. You can buy aftermarket ball joints and just press out the old ones and press the new ones in. I got mine from my local suspension place.

This is the confusing issue with nissan in regards to ball joints I rang 2 different nissan spares and one told me I had to get the whole set as you said then I rang another and they sourced me just the two ball joints on there own, this was from berwick nissan by the way.

yea i have replaced the rear ball joints now and yea nissan just list the whole arm but once i pull out the old ball joints for the rear i found that they were the same as the front. I'll put a part no. up tomorrow as i have the parts at work as i do all my own work on my car
