I searched around for a while and everything I could find was about ball joints on S4's....
Everything I read says that in order to get new ball joints on a S5 you must buy the whole arm. Has anyone successfully changed them without spending almost $1000 on a new pair of arms?
If its not possible my second question would be, will S4 control arms bolt up to the S5 suspension so I can replace the ball joints?
Thanks!
Sean

 

the answer to your second question, is yes.

 

get s4 ones from the sale section then you can bolt on new ones

 

You will need the S4 sway bar end links as well.

 

Ok, so it seems like the consensus is that there isn't a way to change the ball joints on a S5 control arm...
I planned on getting a aftermarket sway bar anyway, so I'll just make sure to buy one for a S4 and pick up some S4 arms. The price for new S5 arms is outrageous.
Thanks for the responses guys.

 

$1000 no way even genuine Mazda parts would cost that much

 

I exaggerated a bit, its $800 for the pair on Mazdatrix: http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.as...m=34-3500-FC02
Still way too much for a set of control arms, aluminum or not....
