If you go to a parts store and ask for a lower ball joint for a 3S they will tell you no. You can only replace the lower control arm assembly. Last I checked it was $435. What this howto does is show you how to not buy a lower control arm, but use a ball joint that happens to fit the hole in the lower control arm when you remove the old ball joint. I will be doing this coming up shortly. Can't wait :)

if you do not have plies to put the clip back on just bend one end up a little with pliers.. then put the clip on and tap back down into the slot the end you bent up. very easy to do

correct me if im wrong here. But i believe the ball joints are the same as the Eagle Talon.

You can get search for individual ball joints for the 3S on eBay too.

Moog K9855 Ball Joint.
I knocked the stock one out with a BFH (Big Freaking Hammer) And push the other in with a ball joint press tool.
The C Clip is a big pain.
