Ball Joints

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 :? :lol:

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 8-)

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 other folk may not think national is any good for alignment as their equipment is a bit out of date compared to others but i watch them do the work and one the guys there is a Honda nut which helps :)
