Hi Guys,

Over the weekend, I replaced my king springs with Buddy Club N+ coils.

I noticed that upon removal, my rear left control arm ball joint was a bit moist and looked a bit quite worn off.

Not sure if this was the noise I used to hear from when I had the kings in, but it seems more noticeable now that I have my BC's. The noise is squeeky & clunky coming from that area of the car.

Anyone know if I replace this if this would fix it? Also $ for a new control arm if needed?

Might be your stabilizer links being loose RE: Noise.

Ball joints are cheap, I'd say if you see moisture etc you may as well change it all!

If it was the sabilizer links - I assume that all I would have to do is re-tighten them?

Re ball joints: - Can I only get them from Honda? Do you think that I wont have to replace the whole arm?
