Hey guys, So im really confused about this. I read in the sticky that we can buy new lower ball joint replacements from infiniti because the old ones are hard to get off. So i ordered a pair and im not sure if i got the right part. Do they look like this

If thats the part that everyone is referring to then im really confused because my pro-1 arms come with a part that is identical. Look at them

Can someone help me out. I have no clue what is going on.

 

The SPC a-arms don't come with the conical bushing. Your Pro1 arms apparently did come with those bushings, so you didn't need to buy the bushings. But you bought the right bushings. Maybe you can sell them to someone buying SPC a-arms.

 

so ok i got it. But what was the original reason we cant use the old ones? I cant believe these chunks of metal can wear out.

 

The bushings can be difficult to remove from the OEM a-arms. I guess that's why your Pro1 a-arms came with the bushings. The SPC a-arms don't come with the bushings, so if you don't want to try to remove them from the OEM a-arms, then it's a good idea to buy the bushings from the dealer.

 

Yup, looks like your arms came with the bushings. Cusco's also do NOT come with the bushings, so you can try to find someone buying the Cusco's as well.

 

What's the part number for the bushing??????

 

How do you remove them from the OEM A-Arm? I'm installing the SPC arm right now!
