Anyone did front and back ball joints replacement?
I have FRONT lower and BACK upper going bad, a lot of play.

But dealership says BACK cannot get replaced, they need to change whole arm. :shock: Is this true?

As far as I'm aware, you do the whole arm on the front too.

With the right tools it can be done to do BJ only, but the control arms are so easy to do.

If you can find the replacement ball joints it is possible. I changed out just the ball joint in the front lower. Maybe its the same just need to press it out and measure.

Just found a local BJ manufacturer, who has professional garage to do all repairs. Price is approx. 18 EUR/BJ plus 25 EUR total repair cost and additional 25 for wheels adjustment. That's 122 EUR total, which seems very reasonable to me.
