    Gen 2 rear ball joint replacement

    I'm looking at replacing the old rear ball joints (both upper and lower) without having to purchase the control arms. I tried RockAuto and came up blank. Any options that do not involve Viper tax? I searched the forum but did not find a conclusive answer. I'm hoping someone has done this since the cars are averaging 20 years old now.

    I know viperpartsusa has them. I'd contact JonB @ Partsrack too.

    Found the thread here: https://driveviper.com/forums/thread...owe+ball+joint

    To summarize the thread, the upper ball joint is screwed in while the lower ball joint is pressed in. Part numbers are:
    Howe upper ball joint: 22310
    Howe lower ball joint: 22408

    Thanks Dean for pointing me the right way and Mike for the Howe thread.
