front and rear lower ball joints the same on 1g?

[3kgt2nv]

I'm redoing the rear subframe and figure i wanted to do the ball joints while i have it all apart. after a few hours of searching the web i was unable to find a part number or if replacements even exist.
Ii found a thread on here from 2009 and it stated that on a 1g the front and rear lower ball joints are the same.

just looking for some confirmation of this before i order a set of moog ball joints that might not fit.


thanks

Anyone have any input on this?

I believe they are the same.

Yes. I've replaced my rears and used the part number of fronts. Just make sure when you press them in and out, you find something to support the arm really well as its very thin and you can tweak it.

If you are changing them for dry rotted boots, you can get new boots from JNZ I believe. As long as no dirt got in and the joint is still tight you can save some money.

thanks for the confirmation. the boots are shot and i have no idea the condition so would rather replace them since im also doing all energy suspension bushings and the boostx rear subframe and mustache bar bushings.

for anyone who needs 1g lower ball joints rockauto has moog ball joints on closeout for 4.71 each and there is a 5% discount code on the forum for them also.

just a heads up

Yes they are the same - I used the same part number a while back when replacing all of mine. Thanks for the heads up on the RockAuto deal! Might have to pick up a few extras for the rear.
