ball joints
Hi all, I have a 91 civic hatch that I'm working on.
I just started researching different ball joints and found the auto supply carries moog, or I could get them off ebay from Canada for half the price, but I don't know the quality of either.
Has anybody on here bought them off ebay? I'm planning on changing the upper and lower ball joints as well as the tie rod ends.
I am also planning on changing the bearings on the hub . In the book it says to take it to a shop to have them pressed in. Is this the best way to go? Or can this be done at home too?
Thanks for any advice or experiences

RE: ball joints
For the bearings, you can remove the steering knuckle and take the knuckle to a local machine shop. The machine shop should be able to install new bearings for a couple of bucks. I dunno about the ball joints but you get what you pay for.
