So I took the car to get wheel aligned today, and it needs new front ball joints and bushes.

Bushes are easy. Looks like I want the eccentric SuperPro ones, as suggested by the suspension guys (http://superpro.com.au/find-superpro-parts-for-my-vehicle/part?id=SPF3297K).

Has anyone replaced the front ball joints? Any idea where to get a replacement set from?

Paul, no price yet, he was waiting for some callbacks.

Josh, nice find. Anyone know if V35 ball joints are the same as NM35? I know some stuff matches up, other stuff doesnt fit because of the front drive shafts.

$70 isnt too bad I guess. If theyre the same as V35/350Z I'll give Nissan a call too.

That sounds way too expensive. Is that what everyone is paying?

Whiteline want $80 retail for the non eccentric ones. I cant imagine it costs $70 to drill the hole in a different spot...

Car Torque should be, they're the Adelaide distributor. But doesn't it seem like a lot for a hunk of eurethane with some metal in the middle?

Does anyone know if V35/350Z front ball joints are the same as NM35s?

For those looking for this information later...

The V35/350Z front ball joints should be the same, and you have to get them from ebay as Josh showed above, i.e.: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-FRONT-LOWER-BALL-JOINT-Set-NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-01-07-/190450769457?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c57c01e31#ht_2375wt_1180

Only available from Nissan complete with the spindle. I was quoted $806 per side. $1612 vs $70... I know what I'm doing!

its alright, i worked out what the noise was, it wasnt the fuel pump, it was the 4wd pump constanly working becuase the relay is half stuffed lol, got a new one on the way. the car is still classed as a repairable write off anyway so i still cant drive it on public roads :(
