Hi guys.

I've got a DC5 (non-R) with a worn passenger side ball joint in the suspension. My mechanic is having trouble finding a replacement ball for it, and honda quotes the whole assembly which is pretty expensive.

Since the type R is a lot more common, I'm wondering whether anyone knows if the ball joint would be the same between the R and non-R versions? Can I just tell the mechanic to get a DC5-R ball joint instead?

Cheers!
