Hey so I finally found out a clicking noise and narrowed it down to my back left, I need a rear ball joint. I’ve called around but not getting a lot of answers or getting the run around. Can I replace just the ball joint? Yes I’ll need to press it, but where can I just get a rear ball joint, or do I have to do the full lower control arm and ball joint replacement? This clicking is only from a start and when I turn. It’s looks like it needs changed compared to my right rear This is the rear left lower ball joint.
I recently changed out all the ball joints (front/rear) and bushings on my IX. Are you planning on changing out the ball joint yourself? It's pretty easy if you have a press, I used a 27mm socket to press out/in with a sleeve to support the bottom of the arm. Make sure to torque everything down at ride height when reinstalling the LCA.

hey bro, yea im going to do both rear lower control arms, with ball joint assembly. will eventually do the fronts. I've replaced the front rack and pinion, and front cv joint axels as of now. I have them ordered and will be here soon. I don't trust myself to press, so going to have it done n a shop I trust.
Bumping an old thread here, but I am looking to replace all rear ball joints also and am wondering how the Hard Race joints are holding up. The OEM joints made it 140,000 miles, can anyone report real mileage success with these aftermarket joints? TIA
