rx7 shops and mazda want over $170 each for a new ready to go control arm. I have a much cheaper line on them - but there are no steering stops on them, so I would imagine they could be installed either side - lmk if I am mistaken. one could grind the originals off and weld them on or leave them for more steering angle. manufacturer is OEL which I think used to be Bendix.

would $200 shipped for a pair be reasonable to ask? I need to check on warranty specifics as well.

 

Just replace the ball joint and tack weld in 3-4 sections.

 

buying just ball joints compared to these whole assemblies, are not cost effective. plus fresh metal with good powdercoating and no labor aggravations minus R&R wrench turning.

 

So what are these arms from? Are you having them custom-made or are they a 'close' fit from another car? I actually need ball joints in the medium-term, so if these are stock-equivalent I'd pick a pair up.

 

They look to be AE86 lower front control arms to me. I've heard they can be used on our 7s.

 

Appr. $80 for 2 LCA ball joints is cheap in my book

 

Looks kinda skinny on the pivot end, from this view. & not a huge fan of riveted ball joints in general.

 

after further review, these are not usable. sway bar mount and trailing? arm have different mount locations. oh well.

after cross referencing the K8123 number, moog shows it on summit as 68-71 montego. $35 and change. not that lucky of a interchange. damn close though.

plus they are adjustable.

 

T3 would take so much of my money. suspension goodies for days!

 

You can get the RB adjustables, which work great for ~$500.00 and you get adjustable! Thats
what I ended up doing.
