I need to find some S14 ball joints for an S13 5-lug conversion.  The dealership and the local junkyard won't sell them seperately from the control arms.  Anyone have any ideas?

Well...I didn't want to go with any of that cheap crap, but if it's my only option, I'll check it out.

Thanks.

CarQuest sells Moog, as do others.  Moog is BETTER than factory.  It is even regreasable.  Make sure to buy a grease gun and grease while you're there so you can grease the joints after you install them (there's a little zerk fitting on the bottom that you hookup to the grease gun and pump grease in until it starts to come out of the hole in the boot).

Now you know. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'>

...and knowing is half the battle. &nbsp;Go Joe.

Well, you learn something new everyday. &nbsp;I'll definately look into that.

Thanks again, Eric. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
