2g Rear Balljoint

[DSM_PWR]

So with the search feature now bringing up 1000xx pages of stuff i dont need, i couldnt find the answer to this question

My rear balljoints need to be replaced and i wanted to know i can just press out the old balljoint with new ones or do 2g's need to replace the entire arm?

If found these:
AutoZone.com | | Ball Joint - Upper | BALL JOINT UPPER FRONT

I believe its what i need?

When you search make sure to change from Search Entire Post to Search Title Only. Long story short they say they can be serviced as a ball joint only but I would only replace the control arm. You are going to destroy it anyways trying to remove that old stuck balljoint out of it. The link you provided is for a front ball joint not rear.

Thnx about the search

Ive replaced 1g ball joints without damaging the arms. Ive heard that the fronts will work for the rears, but never made clearly.

I also found these CAPS

MR162573 $39.10 Rear suspension - Lower control arm - Rear arm
Rear arm, eclipse, left, awd 1995 - 1999

MR162574 $39.10 Rear suspension - Lower control arm - Rear arm
Rear arm, eclipse, right, awd 1995 - 1999


For the price, its a steal IMO, but not sure if its just the arm, or if the ball joints are included, or what ...

It is the complete arm.

I was wondering this also, as the bolt that typically has to be cut to remove the control arm is not discontinued. So I was wondering if there anyone who had just replaced the balljoint on the arm?
