im confused are you saying you can or cannot get ball joints at a parts store ?
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 :)Quote:

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.
I just bought a pair of ball joints from 3sx.com havent installed them yet, but they have them -3000gt
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.
