1G Rear Upper Control Arm AWD

Ok so I noticed a ball joint going bad and looked around but can't find a part online matching what's installed by the previous owner. Anyone care to help me out?

That's not a factory UCA (at least not one that I can recall seeing).

You're going to have to find a ball joint off the shelf that will bolt up to it, or replace the whole arm.

Ok thanks I guess I will have to get it off before I can figure out what I need

What are those zip-ties holding together ?

 

[SeanCollins]

Lol i put those zip ties on to see how much flex was coming out the ball joint.. Something we did when i was overseas on the hummers with questionable joints

I think i found something similar.. Camber kit?? sure if thats what you call an upper control arm i guess on my DSM

I actually have Ingalls rear UCA's on my car, but they are an older style and are different than the ones you linked to. It looks like it's the same part, but redesigned.

Or you could build your own from AFCO parts and Profit

Looks like an older Ingalls kit or something very similar. Find out which way the threads go (right handed or left) and just get a replacement balljoint.

For example:
AFCO 30211 AFCO Tie Rod Ends

Obviously that one is left hand threaded, but you can get them either way. Just check yours and make sure on the threads I would suppose.
