S4 + S5 Control arms
well ive got reson to belive my passenger side ball joint is bad.
I was looking at the control arms, and ive always heard that the s5 ball joints can only be replace with a new control arm, as they are not removable. but it appears to me that I can remove the bracket with the ball joint in it from the control arm.
could it be that someone swapped s4 ca's into my 90 n/a?
I guess what im really asking is are the s5 and s5 ca's interchangable?

It sounds like someone rigged it. I prefer the replacable S4 ball joints, however there are issues mounting the S5 stabilizer links to the S4 LCA's. It would help if you posted pics.
