I should look at work and see how much they are.
I know that there some some Ford truck ones that you have to replace the whole a arm but then once you do it once you can just replace the ball joints after that.
I have an extra pair of A-arms i could maybe just mail you Suz
Seems like the easy fix
They come off a JZA70 which travelled 72000

thanks for your offer garage 
i'm just trying to find a source for supra owners here
so... you guys are seriously telling me that whenever you need a upper you spend $250usd or more on a joint? LOL (i realise its with the arm hehe)
well... there is a place here that will rebuild them (depending on sort, they need to see it first) for about $95

Yes, when we replace them, we replace the whole arm, because the uppers almost never wear out, it's almost 99% of the time, the lowers, which is why they're cheap and easily replaceable.
hmmm... interesting.. of course (again) you replace the whole arm
3 of mums uppers are flogged... and i ain't paying $250usd each for em LOL
i guess i'll be getting them rebuilt

Alright well if the costs add up too much I have 2 complete upper arm assemblies that are tight as can be for not being new here for you

Ok. That works.
Do you want anything from my baller garage sale that could be shipped together?
that would be 1200 australian which doesnt = 1200 USD but it still is $1000 and from what I've heard of Toyota in Oz, that isn't a typo
How does 150 bux sound? Full arm, and ball joint, brand new.
PM me if your interested, ill even offer discounts if you buy 2 at a time or more!

nope, i'm not kidding, that's what toyota wants
for our pre 89 rotors 277od rather than your standard 300mm od.. they want 721 + gst (12.5%) and they're discontinued... so i asked them... so what are we supposed to do, tow our cars to the junkyard when our balljoints & rotors flog out? LOL (both balljoints & rotors are discontinued)
so i've upgraded my caliper bracket & rotor to the 300mm ones so i can now buy new rotors... and ball joints i can get rebuilt (only option here anyhow)
Thanks for that CK... if ever anyone needs some i'll let you know.. as jeff said not many flog out but i'm sure there will be some i'll get ours rebuilt as it's more cost effective and same country lol
But i may get anal later and want new ones anyway haha.. i'll let you know when i want some anyhow
