R33 Gtst Front Hub Ball Joints

[Cadmoon]

Hey guys, I've looked around but can't find the answer to my question.

I'm wanting to replace all the bushes and ball joints on my 33 but I'm having trouble finding info about the front hub ball joints. Are the joints in the wheel hub the same as the ones that press into the LCA?

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the upper bearings? Top of the upright?

Top of the wheel hub that I have marked in the red squares.

I have the part numbers for the Ball joints that press into the LCA and bold on the the bottom of the hubs, I just need to find what joints go in the top pivot.

So, did you even look at the thread that was started only 3 days ago?

Didn't see it and since I didn't know the what the bearing was called I was searching the wrong terms to find it. Thanks for your help.

Do they actually need replacing?

No, I'm replacing all the bushes but after looking at what's involved with replacing this one I'm going to leave it until it needs to be done.

Just the bushings alone is a lot of work.That is, unless you get some good aftermarket arms. It would be more expensive, but you'll be able to properly set the alignment and you dont have to press the old ones out.

Yeah, I'm doing most of the arms but I wanted to replace any remaining bushes.
