Ball Joints

[Peter Hoffman]

Quick question concerning em....sorry :o. I don't have after market control arms, and was planing on replacing my ball joints. I see most of the sites i'd initially think to buy from, ie. Calmini, SLR, AC; say that theirs are for aftermarket control arms only. Do ya'll know of any good one's that will work on the stock CA's? Or should i just buy replacement OEM ones? Or..will the "for aftermarket CA's only" one's work on the Factory control arms. hehe.

Thanks in advance

any upper BJ should work, from what i understand, but i would just get good OEM ones.

I don't think the stock ball joints can be removed from the 99-04xterra/frontiers. You have to replace the entire control arm.

thought that was just for the lowers?

Its been a few years but when I did my lift they were part of the UCA. Not bolt on.
