Anybody sell aftermarket front upper control arms...
 
for an 89 Civic? I just got a quote for like $100 per side for the upper arms. If I'm going to pay that kind of money I want something aftermarket. I have looked all over hell and can't find anything. I don't want to buy these damn things. Why the ---- do they have to weld the ------- ball joints to the control arm? That's ------- retarded. >:( If I'm going to do this, I would like to be able to just buy the ball joints for the next time so I don't have to buy a new front half of a car just to replace some ball joints. ::)

Can I use something for a 92-95 somehow? :-\

u can probably use them from a 92, remember that all civics from 90-00 use the same shocks (style)

but the CRX struts are diffrent from a 92-00. if you use a 92-00 strut on a crx it will screw with the car.

Yeah, but this is an 89. :-\
I wonder if I have to find out the hard way?

Does the 92-95 Civic require upper control arms for ball joint replacement?

I couldn't find either one. :-\ They make them for 92+, but not 89.

Onyx, yeah I think they do have replaceable upper ball joints. That's what it looks like anyways.
