Front Torque Arm Question
The bushings in my front torque arms (torque struts, strut rods, radius rods, whatever name you want to go with lol) are bad. I ordered new bushings from FCP Euro and planned on changing them today. After removing the bushing bolt and popping the arm down I checked the ball joint end at the spindle (while still attached there) and there is play in it. Can I get the ball joint end and replace it or is this one of those pieces that the ball joint is built in and not replaceable? I can't seem to find a part number for the ball joint...

Return the bushing and get the whole arm from FCP. That way if any part of it goes bad, bushing or ball joint, you can send it back and get a free replacement from them in the future.
