A-Arm w/ Balljoint.

mustanggt5pt0 · Mar 15, 2007

Does anyone know if any company sells A-arms with the balljoint pressed on? One of the joints is squeaking, and with the engine out, might be a bit easier to change em out. Thanks for any info!

Ford Racing has new A Arms with New Balljoints and new Bushings, they are a great deal. I believe M-3075-A is the Part Number for the Fox Stangs.

Wow, thanks, that is a pretty good deal. The I got estimates to replace b-joints from a few shops were between 6-800 bucks.

if its just the ball joint why not just pop the old one out and press a new one in? mine snapped in half (litterly snapped) in a parking lot and i changed it in the lot, my fender was sitting on the wheel so i couldn't drive it. i rented the press from a parts store, when i got home i changed the other side as well, you should really do both when one goes. took me like 40 mins in my garage to change it

Considering that most of our Stangs are pushing 15 - 20 Years old its not a bad idea to just swap in the Ford Racing Arms as the Original Bushings are probably shot to hell.

if it ain't broke don't fix it unless your adding a bunch of new parts why put in new bushings?

The Fact that Rubber Degrades over time was the exact reason to replace them, if you are going as far as doing the Ball Joints then you might as well save yourself the time and just replace the entire Arms. The older your Stang gets the more that Rubber deteriorates and the more slop you will get in the front end of your car, between Stock CC Plates and worn out Bushings in your Lower A Arms your front wheels will deflect greatly while going around corners aggressively.

Yea I have decided to replace the entire arm and balljoint. Although expensive it will be worth it. I am also going to do shocks and springs while im at it, and any other bushings that need replacement. I am weary of a squeaky balljoint, I would hate to have it break going 100mph at the track.

Yep its best to just do everything at one time as your are time and money ahead for yourself, plus the safety factor!
