Ball Joint Replacement
 
I need my ball joints replaced and I went to the dealer to buy them and they stated that they don't sell them separately anymore. They said I had to buy the Upper and Lower control arms. Does anyone know of a package that includes all of this?

Who says you need ball joints?

Yeah, that's what I'm looking at now, I just wondering if anyone had a package deal on upper and lower control arms as well. I was just gonna replace everything at once.

There are no 'upper' control arms as the front end is of the strut design.
There are GT500 lower control arms available... $254

This has been covered back around 9-22-10.
The search function work well... :)

I had to do this myself with my left ball joint (Right handed Road course victim). I was Uber pissed that Ford went to the One piece design but hey, they got to make a living right (snarl).
I got a ball joint from a third party supplier and took it & the arm to a local machinist who pressed out the old and in the new. Just threw him $20 for his time.

Next time I will go with the GT500 arm assemblies though, they are supposed to be tougher.
