I don't know how to replace them but my boot was ripped on my blaster and after driving off a huge jump the ball joint broke off and ripped the valve stem of my flipped rim off and left me in a sand pit with an a arm dragging on the ground and a flat tire:D
I just got a whole new a-arm for $25

*Deffinatly fix before riding!!

if your talkin about a 300ex you cant replace the ball joints, you need new a-arms

I take it that it is an 87 250x. the upper a arm has a bolt on ball joint. i dont no if you can buy them but my brother bought tie rod ends off a early 70's vw bug and he bolt on his 400ex. You can get those at NAPA. I think they are about $18. Not sure if you have to get a bushing or not.
