Front lower control arm

[Gabara]

Hey guys, I have my front lower control arm And the ball joint with the bolt is bent like the actual bolt is bent, I was wondering if I can change the bolt it self with out replacing the entire control arm

 

[Gianni]

Which side. I got a drivers side hanging around with new bushes

 

[Gabara]

That's the side I need, I don't know what Evo my control arm is off but I defently know it's not Gsr one

 

[Gianni]

Hmm. The one I have fits cc so gsr lancer and Evo. If u have a sway bar the only issue would be the mount. Some mount on the control arm others on the strut. Check it out and get back to me

 

[Gabara]

On the strut champ

 

[Gianni]

Cool. So either way it should be right. I'll double check the ones I have tonight. If u wanna buy it or at least look at it where are u from btw

 

[Gabara]

Sydney man, but I have to check something tomorrow as well I'm trying to see if I can change the bolt if I can't will consider buying =)

 

[Gianni]

I don't think u can change it. I think it's like a pivot ball inside and doesn't cone out. Well I never tried. I think u might need to unscrew the bottom cap. But not sure if that welded on or what. Once u find out I'll send u a pic so u know what it is

 

[Gabara]

Sounds good cheers

If its the cast steel ones you need a whole new control arm. I think with the pressed steel one, the ball joint can be pressed out to be replaced.

 

[Gianni]

I looked at it. It's the drivers side so u should be good it's got the sway bar mount on it too. Coz it's off the gsr

 

[Gabara]

Thanks Gianni for your help and offer much appreciated it, but I ended up replacing the ball joint, Paul I ended up replacing it so must be the pressed one
