I just found a bad ball joint on a lower front "A" arm on my '91. The ball joint is NOT replaceable, you have to replace the whole "A" arm! I found that a NEW (51360-SLO-020) LISTs for $832, my cost is $589. Joe Toth at ERZ CAR wants $450 for a used one.
I would like to modify the ball joint area by machining off the ball joint, weld a plate in place and attach a BOLT ON ball joint. Anybody out there have a couple lower front "A" arms with bad ball joints that they would like to donate to the project? I would be glad to pay shipping.
Has anybody already tried to do this? Let me know.
Thanks,
Brad
