Ok so I am currently taking off the rear subframe to replace the bushings and while removing the 14mm bolts that hold on the bracket for the subframe bushing the welds seem to of broken from the inside where the 14mm bolt screws in. Unfortunately there is no way to get to were to bolts screw in...

I think the car looks better when moldings are the same color as the car, but only 89+ moldings.

Sale the na motor and buy a good turbo motor. It sounds like you could end up spending some what close to the same on either buying the additional parts you will need to go NA vs. just spending the different on buying a turbo motor once you sale the na. Plus you will probably be much happier in...

I appreciate the info but I would not recommend buying new control arms and destroying perfectly good ball joint boots. Let me say that I would not consider this in upgrade yet because the poly boots have not been thoroughly tested yet on my car. This is more for people that don't have bad ball...

Yes the part number is 13009 but you only need 2. They come in quantity of 2 and this would only be for the upper ball joints for the front maybe the rear. I'm not 100% positive if the front upper ball joints are the same as the rear upper ball joints. They were so cheap I got two sets anyway...

This thread is for people who are looking for ways to save your ball joint dew to the torn 20+ year old ball joint boot. Now alot of you may know already that the upper ball joint will rarely go bad but if the boot tears then there is a good chance that it might go bad sooner then later. I am in...

Well mine are old and not so blingy anymore so I painted them and the turned out great. The joints themselves are not the problem its the boots. Like IJ said the joints themselves don't generally go bad but the boots tear all the time which leads to joint failure. This is my problem. So I'm...

I tell you what. If I'm finished with my engine build by then I will make the trip. ---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ---------- I had a map-ecu on my car and it worked great. If you want to monitor Knock you will need a map-ecu2 (2nd gen). However...

My apologies. I read the post wrong. He ask about ECU map tuning not map-ecu.

Map-Ecu is a piggy back. Any experienced tuner will be able to tune using a map-ecu. Find a local shop that does tuning. I had my car tuned with a map-ecu by a local shop that had never tuned with one before. If I could of done it over again I would of just bought a standalone.

Yeah that is the conclusion that I was coming to as well, which is why I was looking into other alternatives. Since the joint itself was fine but the boot was torn I figured I would give the poly boot from energy suspension a shot. If it works I will be sharing the details with the community.

Well I think Monday I'm going to go ahead and place in order with them. Give it a shot and if all goes well I will post the results. It could be a possible solution for people that just need a new boot vs. having to replace the whole control arm.

http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/Energy-Suspension-Universal-Dust-Boots.asp Ok it should work now

Here is the link. Based on my measurement of the boot part number 13025 is pretty close. http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...Dust-Boots.asp Thanks for the tip. Did not know that it was heat treated alum or about the soap trick.

Well I think that I will probably just paint the upper control arms vs. powder coat them. Finding a different ball joint to have fitted might end up being more then what its worth to just have them powder coated. Besides the joints are in good condition its just the boots are torn. Hey IJ have...

Hey guys I'm trying to find out a solution to replacing my upper ball joints other than buying a brand new control arm. The ball joint is in over all good shape other then the boot is torn. Has anyone ever used a universal polyurethane boot to replace the old one. Energy suspension sales these...

Thats one hell of a torch

Not looking for new arms. Wanted to see if there any ball joints that people have used from other cars to either thread them in or press in. Or even just a custom set up. Lol. Yeah don't wanna burn the house down the fiance would kill me. Actually I take that back she might be ok with it if my...

Hey guys I just dropped my front subframe today and I am getting it prepped to be sent to the powder coater. While taking the upper a-arms off I discovered that the boots were torn. I realized that the upper a-arms would have to be replaced because the ball joints are not sold separately. My...
