I searched and found several posts from 5+ years ago, but I wanted something more recent. I just bought the front suspension in my sig(Houser silcast +2 ST arms) and I want to put new ball joints on it. I also want to replace the tie rod ends.

Can I get everything at my local Autozone/advanced/o'rielly's? any part numbers would be useful. The setup is about two years old.

Houser wants $35 for uppers and $35 for lower, each..... I'm not paying $140 just for ball joints

Anyone know of a place that sells FRAP ball joints? These seem to be the correct design for Houser.

These fit the Houser arms?

I just threw that out there so you could take a look at them and see. I have a set of Burgards arms on my Banshee and I upgraded to the Ricky Stator Ball joints because they are heavy duty, but I had to do a little drilling and tapping work on my A-arms to get them to fit.

I went to Houser's website and it appears that the Houser upper ball joint itself has an angle cast into them (the RickyStator ones have straight) so the RS parts probably won't work.
