Ball Joints/control Arms On A R32

[StOjA]

im hoping someone has had some experience in replacing the ball joints on an r32 GTST. Ive been told that you cant change the ball joint on its own but must replace the whole lower control arm.

is this person telling me the truth or trying to scam me for more money.

also if there is anyone in sydney that might know of a place where i can buy any of this without having to import the part.?

Are you talking about the tie rod end or the ball joint on the lower control arm?

Tie rod end is sold as a unit. They aren't expensive. Ball joint on lower arm is held in with a circlip by the look of it so should be removable.

Yes, but you cant but the balljoint(from nissan anyway)

just get a used arm with ball joint

looking at atleast 100$per arm off a wreck

I don't see why you can't press the ball joint out if the ball joint is sold seperately. Even still there not overly expensive to replace the whole component if that is not the case.

when i had a look at it it looks removable but they dont sell the ball joint on its own ... i got quoted by nissan for the pair of control arms. $900+ which i think is a tad on the ripp off side
