Where to get ball joints..

[ItsSlow]

Where (besides the dealer) is a good place to get ball joints? I checked on autozone's websites, but they dont have them listed..

[DeanSweet]

why not the dealer? They arent too bad. I think the MPV cost around $28 each?

maybe try www.mazdapartscheap.com (http://www.mazdapartscheap.com)

Well, I cant really get a price from the dealer on the weekend.. lol

That place didnt list ball joints for the protege.. Will MPV ball joints work on proteges?

The ball joints cannot be replaced to my knowledge. You have to buy new control arms.

Thats gay..

Although, I was told the same thing for my galant.. But I pressed the old ball joints out and pressed new ones in..

Or you could go into the merchant section on this forum and ask the rep from onlinemazdaparts.com for a quote.

Yes, you need to replace the whole control arm.

I bought a control arm off ebay. It wasn't OEM but looks identical. It was about $100.

Is there any other Mazda vehicle that you can buy ball joints for?

I remember on my galant that you had to buy the whole control arm.. But the 1g dsm ball joints worked if you got the old one out (which is what I did).. I dont feel the need to spend ~$500 on 2 new OEM control arms..
