Energy susp. will it solve my ball joint problem?

[JeanDSM]

IM interested in buying the hyperflex kit by Energy supension.
My car has all the ball joint damaged. The control arms (upper) and the lower ones. Does this kit includes the ball joints boots? do i need to buy the ball joints new.
I want to know if i remove the old rubber and install the new polyurethane one will repair all my ball joints damages.

nope sorry to say this but they only include replacement /up graded bushings( and they are a big improvement by the way ) , that's the only thing included in the kit.and just replacing the rubber will not get the suspension slop out of the ball joints sadly you will have to break the suspension down ( you would have to any way for the kit ) ball joints are cheap especially if your a mechanic ( like me , you get stuff at cost at most parts stores) my whole energy suspension front a- arm kit 1g, lower ball joints , outer tie rod end s, and a right front control arm cost me under $150 ( just to give you an idea )

so that means that i will need to buy the two lower ball joints?
i cheked on a local partsshop 45 per arm, thats 2 for the right and 2 left so $180

wait how much are you pay per ball joint ? Oh yea it would be a good idea to get an alignment too mine cost me about $10 a ball joint.

what's wrong with your ball joints that they need to be replaced. mitsubishi had a recall on lower ball joints on all models from 95-99. look it up on google or something and you'll see what i'm talking about.

edit: i was bored so i found it for you. you shall be forever grateful.

there are only 2 per side...1 low and 1 high. you can buy a new lower control arm for $50, $100 for both sides if you do not want to jack with pressing the balljoint out/in.

yeah, where can I get upper controll arms? My friend's lower ones went and i replaced those, then his ball joints are gone. All he needs now is upper, I heard you can only gets these from factory..... does anyone know of a cheap place. I need these ASAP!



I just bought lower ball joints online.
