Control arm advice please!

[Sportsmind4me]

Hello fellow Primers! I am in dire need of some advice. A low speed spin (raining) into a curb has resulted in me needing the driver's side rear upper and lower control arms. The shop says I may also need the knuckle and possibly a wheel bearing.:frown: I feel fortunate as it could have been worse. I'm currently in talks with a couple of fellow Primers who have the parts intact with ball joints and bushings. My questions are, when looking at other online sources, why do I see just the arms for sale? Is it a better bet to buy them intact or get just the arms and re-use the bushings and ball joints? Thanks!

I seem to recall reading it is very hard to replace the ball joints without destroying the arms. There is someone on the board who can do the bushings if I recall correctly(he is in CA I think) but the ball joints are tough. I hear even separating them can result in damage to the joint and arm.

but everyone that has any dealings with me know, I am actually normal

and live by this famous quote from a great movie

" well we all gotta die some time Red "

you live once then you die and your NSX is sold on ebay by the family member that got the NSX in the WILL. LOL
