Got some popping starting when turning the wheel and I’ve narrowed it down to the ball joints. They’ve got a 160k miles so not surprised. Is it easier to just swap the whole arm or just get ball joints? I haven’t had much time to search to be honest.

Upper A arm is usually cheap enough to just replace the whole thing

Easy enough. What about the lower?

What vehicle are we talking about? I am all for replacing the entire upper arm when available . For the lowers, I have usually just replaced the ball joint but depends on the condition of the a arm bushings.

I would definitely replace the arms. Depending on what you have planned for the truck there are quite a few companies making really good stuff out there.

I absolute LOVE my Mazzulla arms. Machined billet, 1.25 uniballs, heims instead of bushings, more adjustments for a better alignment with a lift. They are definitely on the high end of the price range for arms, but they are great. Dirt King offers two styles, tubular without a uniball, or boxed with a uniball.

I plan on it driving my kids to school and back and hauling mulch and my blazer. Don’t think I need uniball’s and fancy billet haha.

If they are still riveted like the gen3's, replace the arms. You don't want to fight with those rivets.

**** rivets. Chiseled enough of those out on my blazer.

Anyone use these before?
