Hi folks,
Can anyone point me in the right direction to buy ball joints for my Accord? I need the lower ones and the tie rod end ones. Maybe the uppers depending on price as you have to buy the whole upper arm assembly with them.
I seem to remember somebody recommending an eBay seller at one point?
Cheers,
Josh

Do you need to get your alignment done after changing ball joints btw?

Never... And I crashed it up a bank and through a hedge and since then it has worn half the tyre bald on that side

Doesn't look like Langdon4x4 has the front lowers for an '01 Accord

does anyone know if a 5th Gen Prelude one would fit? I can't see why the knuckles would be any different between cars? No track rod ends either

Cool, well I'm in no rush as the car won't be back on the road for a while. I can keep the old joints for the moment and replace them later down the line

I'll keep an eye on the eBay shop

always get an alignment done - i get national to do mine - £15 for all four if you print off the 50% discount voucher you get online. other folk may not think national is any good for alignment as their equipment is a bit out of date compared to others but i watch them do the work and one the guys there is a Honda nut which helps
