Ball Joints or the whole Control Arm?

[GrLPress626]

Curious... I kinda wrecked my ball joints when pulling them out to remove my axles and now have to replace both sides. I have access to a press... but... do I have to replace the whole lower control arm or can I just get the ball joint seperatley with the boot. I have searched for the ball joint online but can only find lower control arms and they are around the 120 range per side which is pretty hefty for not needing the WHOLE thing. Suggestions would be greatly appriciated!

Sounds to me like you need the whole assy.

sorry.

There's no point in replacing the whole control arm if you don't need to. Just contact onlinemazdaparts and they'll get you a good price for what you need

The ball joints are not replaceable individually. You can replace the dust boots, but not the joint itself.

And if you need to replace the dust boot, most likely you've got enough dirt into the joint to warrant a new joint (and new control arm to go with it).

I stand corrected...
