Anyone recommend a shop near Milpitas, Fremont, San Jose in California that can press s14 ball joints into s13 front control arms QUICKLY, and INEXPENSIVELY?

You shouldnt have to use a press for this. Simply take the snap ring off and use a hammer.

Any shop can do it. As long as they have a press theres not problem. I took mine to a place my co-workers recommended and they did job. no complaints.

bayside transmissions in palo alto will do it for yah.. or you could just use a hammer.. be careful though, those ball joints are uber sensitive..

I've done tried to hammer it out. It doesnt always work, thats why i took mine to a shop to get pressed. If you mushroom the old balljoint theres no going back. just take it to someone with a press. Using a BFH might work, but its not worth the pain.
