moog ball joints

[sx-si]

i got a dead front one so i think its time to stock up
anybody know the cheapest place>?

 

[DeanS15]

if only you'd posted last week......those of us that needed them clubbed together and craig sorted an order out from the states (he's the group buy king y'know lol)....it seems thats the cheapest place to get them, but postage on individual ones could bump it up......camskill sell replacements for 40-00.

 

[craig8585]

Yeah, we got them from RockAuto. They literally tuned up at my house today too

If you buy them on your own they are still cheaper than over here. Suspect is after a couple too so may be worth asking him too.

 

[LuPix_S15]

Craig - see if Si wants to buy mine from you?

I was still gonna have them cos I didn't wanna back out and leave you stranded... wouldn't be fair but if Si wants them then I guess I don't have any need for them now!!

Cheers

 

[craig8585]

If you don't want them I'll get rid of them easy enough mate. Whoever buys your car may want them but so does Suspect and Si..

 

[LuPix_S15]

See if Suspect or Si wants them first as I'm not sure how long it'll take to sell my car lol!! Cheers

I need to do one of mine, IU bought one from Camskill, But I have Nismo lower amrs!

Hope its the same size!

 

[sx-si]

how many you got ?
i mainly only need 1 front but was going to buy 3 fronts and 2 rears for stock?

 

[craig8585]

James had 2. Fronts and rears are the same anyway.

 

[LuPix_S15]

Yeah soz guys looks like I do need this now and will be sorting this with Craig on Sat :wack:

 

[sx-si]

James had 2. Fronts and rears are the same anyway.

err you sure about that?

 

[craig8585]

Errm, yeahh.. unless you know something I don't

 

[craig8585]

I'm just going by what i've read on SXOC and the fact that Apex sell the same uprated ones for front and rear..

MOOG K9449 wont fit you need K9820 Ball Joints which fit front a rear perfectly on our s14/a's.
I ordered four from RockAuto for $28 less vat each with International Priority at $32 a year ago.
RockAuto are great to deal with
a few off-cuts of suitable dia CHS and a big lump hammer make the job of knocking them out real easy
You will need a decent press to push the new ones back in, there a damn tight fit!

Do you have any more info than this?

 

[sx-si]

allways thought they was diffrent front to back :S
unless im thinking s13??? ill take 2 anyway if sombody is selling them

 

[craig8585]

Sorry mate, James wants his set again now.

 

[DeanS15]

i can confirm these should be aok for the rear, though they are listed as parts for the front. i offered it up to the lower arm and with a little bit of press work it wil fit snug. diimensions all look the same too, and the taper on the actual hub carrier matches the balljoint

 

[craig8585]

Pheww! You had me going for a bit there Si!

 

[sx-si]

lol sory ive had that many 200's over the years i get muddled up lol
if its not s14 front and back being diffrent then its s13 or s13 with 5stud

sorry
anyway the hunt for some moogs continues lol
but atleast i can buy 2 now and have one spare
