hello everyone !

ive been looking for the s14 rear ball joints but the local stores dont have it, i want to know if theres another car with the same ball joints.

all i know is that front and rear are the same in the s14 and the number part from MOOG is K9820.

thanks!

You wont find rear ball joints at any local stores because nissan never made any rear ball joints that came seperate from the control arm. You have to buy the whole arm to change out the ball joint.
Some have used the fronts in place of buying the whole arm, but it isnt an exact fit and you have to force it in.

^What??

I just changed my rear ball joints recently. Front and rears are the same on s14. k9820 is what you want. They sell them at checkers.

As for other cars there are sentra ball joints but I don't know the deal on those.

The fronts are not the exact same as the rears. Nissan doesnt have a seperate part# for the rear ball joints. They come with the RLCA only. Google 240sx rear ball joint and you will only find people saying to use the B12 Sentra front ball joint on an S13. But there's an extra 1mm and takes some effort and you have to get them very straight or you'll fuck'em up.
