Hi,

Can someone confirm me if the Ball joint from the 5 gen are the same for the 4 gen ?

I can't find ball joint for my Lude, they only sell 5 gen prelude or complete 4 gen control arm.


Thanks

The ball joints are different on both generations.
Another option is to unmount the arm off and take it to a shop that repairs ball joints.
Aftermarket joints aren't durable as OEM, but honda sells them only with arm.

I think Moog and Spicer both offer replacement ball-joints, and both companies have pretty good support from the 4WD crowd.

the 4th gen and 5th gen ball joints are not the same. I have a 4g with a 5 lug swap, and I had to replace my ball joints...which are not being sold separately, so I just got new 4g A arms with ball joints and and that fixed call my clunking from all broken ball joints. I check with honda as far as the ball joints being the same and they are not.
