Where to find ball joints for alba a arms

[400exwhipper]

Well I bought a set of alba +2 arms brand new in the box for 50 bucks, but no ball joints, from what I've seen there quite expensive and I'm not sure what, other than alba's ball joints will fit, so where is the cheapest place to find all 4? Thanks

Do you know what the thread size is?

No idea.. Just picked up the arms for a steal of a price

Alba sells their ball joints on eBay. $80 for all 4, $50 for 2 or $30 for one if I remember correctly.

Alba action is selling them for 40 a piece, that's raping! Where is this mysterious 88 dollar for 4 deal

Remember you get what you pay for and balljoints is not somthing that you want to fail on you. If one of them drops off in the wrong situation at the wrong time, we are talking serious injury to death.

Teamalbaracing is the seller name on eBay... I didn't see them when I search but that's where I bought them from. Contact them and see if they still sell them for $80 a set.

These are the same ball joint houser, laeger and alba use... I'm sure there are others that use them too. As far as "cheap" goes... Most ball joints for aftermarket are are just marked up tie rod ends from the automotive world... With that said you might be able to have a local auto parts store match them up for you.
