Default Ball joints

Hi,

Having trouble finding lower ball joint replacement for the control arms on a 1970 Mach I. I see lots of choice for upper ball joints but having trouble on lower. Is there an online store someone here is aware of that will ship to Canada? I know I can replace the whole control arm with the joint attached but want to avoid that

As always the help I have received from the members on this forum has been great.

Thanks

I have not found just lower ball joints either. You can buy dust boots and replace those or entire control arms with new Ball joints. Moog is a brand that has decent quality and is available at summit racing. Other solutions can be had at several mustang speciality dealers (cal mustang and NPD to name a couple)

The lower ball joints typically only come with an entire control arm, because they rarely wear since the LCA is the non loaded ball joint.

I have screw in ball joints on my Maier control arms that uses a part from Speedway Engineering. But stock arms typically are only a riveted in ball joint that's not replaceable by itself.
