I'm replacing my lower ball-joint on the driver's side on my Integra. Autozone offers a Duralast unit and Advance offers a Beck/Arnley unit.

Price isn't an issue, quality is. Duralast has given me many good experiences and I haven't purchased a B/A part yet, although they sound to be comparable.

Does anyone have any experience with these two?

 

Honda/Acura.

The quality is better.

 

Well, I need one today so I can take it to Abacus tomorrow and have them punch the old one out and the new one in.. right now I don't have any wheels and I work until 6pm :\

What time does the dealership close? Or, would you be able to snag one and I hit you back?

I have cash.

 

I have no cash. And the dealership usually closes at 6pm. Contact Ritz and see what brands Bap Geon has. They usually have better stuff.

I bought a Duralast one and compared it to the Honda one. The Honda one had a better nut and a better "cotter" pin. The boot also appeared to be thicker.

 

Alright, I'll call Bap and see what they have.. I just need to get this done so I can go out and party with a friend of mine before he leaves for California this weekend.

 

I just got back from Bap Geon, it looks close to stock and the threads aren't chewed up this time

Good looking out Jarrod

 

how much it cost you?

 

$31.45

WAY better than the Acura dealership.. something around $80 and no castle nut or cotter pin

 

Yeah, Acura fucked me like that a while ago.. Good to hear your back on the road, though.

 

Not yet. I've been working 9 hours a day then coming home to work on it until 9-10pm to make sure I have everything right, and clean

I'm glad I have my Mother helping me out or this would have taken much longer as I'd have to walk everywhere. She's taking the front nuckle and ball joint to Abacus today to have John press out the old and press in the new
