Lude Generation

I noticed that ball joints in upper wishbone are gone, so I decided to replace them. I bought a kit off ebay, but ball joints didn't fit. In car parts shop I was told that nobody is selling ball joints separately for 5th gens, so I bought a pair of complete wishbones. They didn't fit too. The part number on my wishbones is S3N-L/R.

The one they gave me in the shop was S30-L/R, but they assured me that it should fit 5th gen. That's the picture of the monitor in the car parts shop:


As I've got EuDM VTi-S model with ATTS, I was told that my suspension is exactly the same as type-S suspension.

1) Can anyone confirm it?
2) Is someone breaking a type-S and has a spare pair of wishbones?
3) What's the best place to go for parts for a suspension like this?
4) Is there any chance of getting suspension parts in a basic car parts shop?
4) What would be the price for a wishbone at Honda dealer?


Thanks

speak to rich at PAW. he swapped all of mine over and found these pesky little buggers for me. They do exist.

Ball joints or wishbones?

I need a new upper ball joint from my type s so good to know you can only buy the wishbones only. All Arts models share the same suspension.

Do you know is it possible to get wishbones from somewhere but Honda?

If I use type-S reg in a normal car part shop, would they be able to see that suspension parts from non Atts models won't fit?

I had a quick look on Lings and they list a different part number for the Type-S arms in comparison with the regular UK VTi's.

Hi
I have suspension parts for sale off type S in for sale section

Since your in a different contry im not sure how the database systems work so i cant say.
But over here if i use my Type S Reg nowhere knows what my cars is. Not even Honda because its an import.
But Honda UK right upper ball joint/wishbone
VTi- PFKL658142 ARM ASSY., R. FR. UPPER £206.96
ATTS Ludes - PFKL658141 ARM ASSY., R. FR. UPPER £193.97

Blueprint dont do ATTS arms. Honda only.

For that price i would polybush the car. Assuming a polybush kit has the wishbone ball joint.

what about these

It's a big risk to buy from USA because of postage costs. If the part won't fit it would cost me a fortune to send it back.
