      Mine was part of the set from ebay. And including the upper arms and tie rods I haven't been impressed.

      Read my post about Shit ARM CAN Ebay ball joints Mine popped out of the socket also. Didn't damage any thing else just shaved a bit of metal off the inside of the wheel. Getting a set of Moog Ball Joint's. Good enough for NASCAR Good enough for ME. Plus the upper is adjustable +1 -1 for camber.

            to tell you guys the truth my 90 ex has some auto zone lower ball join for about 3 years now. i haven't had any problems with them.

            i bought a new set for my 92 dx. but now seeing what is going on and how low my car is, i will defenitly buy my lower ball join at the dealer no matter how much they cost.

              wow i just recieved my whole up cont arm low b joint in and out tie rod sway bar links all in 1 kit from e-bay. i got from a canadian seller auto-spot-parts-depot the name on the boxes the parts came in is chassis select.i hope these arent the cheap ones now as for play in balljoints ur lower b joint is ba load carrying b joint wich means taking xtra care when installing them any 1 here ever hear of all data we have it at the college i go to when replacing b joint look up torque specs and never use a impact gun on them oh absolutely never use heat on front end parts it makes them weak.
