worn bottom ball joints

well lads:)

im just in from dismanteling my old crossmember and i found out that my bottom ball joints are very worn:mad:

ill need to replace them...
does anyone know should i just replace them or the whole arm or go with the driftworks adjustable arms?
is it expensive to replace them?
are the driftworks ones any good and worth the money?
any advice appreciated..thanks in advance:D

i went to nissan for bottom ball joints found out you have to buy the full arm over 300 each :eek::eek::eek: rip off cunts

holy fuckin shit:eek::eek::eek:
not a hope am i paying that anyway!!!
shur you would get the set of driftworks arms for the price of one of them and you would have some change too!!!:eek:lol

I presume it's the front you're taking about.
The D.w arms are worth it but if you cant afford them.
You could use a s14 lower control arm instead ,it'll give you a wider front track.
The ball joint are less than £50 from conceptua-tuning.

I'd recommend them anyway. If you were to replace both ball joints + poly bush stock arms, you would'nt be far off the price of the D.w arms.

The bump steer will be worse with them though, if you're using a conventional tie rod end "like tein".
You need rod ends like
