300zx ball joint for s13 control arms - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

JBotch79 · 07-06-2012, 07:43 AM

hey guys, I'm in the process of doing a 300zx rear brake swap in my s13. I went to put the 300zx upright onto the s13 control arm and the ball joint was too small. So now I need to swap the s13 ball joint with a 300zx one. Long story short, the dealer doesn't sell rear ball joints seperately from the rear control arms so I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get the rear ball joints seperately. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks, Joe

Any auto part store should carry the ball joint, call around and I'm sure you'll find a place.

do i use an s13 rear ball joint or 300zx one?

300zx. Moog sells ball joints individually.

Bring back the dead!
Can someone post a link for these 300zx ball joints that fit the 230 rlca?
I have the same problem but can't find the bigger balljoints anywhere. Also, are you sure it will fit the 240 rlca?

All s13,s14,z32 have the same rear ball joint taper. You people are probably missing the steel taper spacer.

Get two of these. 40173-Z32002

Your absolutely right. I figured it out and put it on order. Come on mister postman! Bring me some goodies.....

or you can be smart and order off rock auto. 22 bucks per ball joint for lifetime warranty moog one's.

mpact1981 · 04-08-2013, 06:25 PM

That wouldn't be smart, actually. My ball joints are perfectly fine. I just need the conical ball joint SEAT which slips onto the ball joint stud and fills the gap on the z32 knuckle. Hope this thread finally has closer and is able to help someone like me in the future.

pART# K9633 from Auto Part International or Moog for s13 rear lower control arms. I paid $11 a piece for them. These will also work with the cone for the 300zx aluminum knuckles. BOOM!
