will 91 240sx lower ball joint work???

I can see your pretty desparate for advice given the 3 consectuive posts...

the one you linked to from RHD japan is an OUTER ball joint... ask your mechanic if you need the OUTER or the INNER, there is a big difference between the two.

see the difference? I don't know if one from a 240sx will work, just look at them and see if they look the same, other than that, I think 300ZX TT works, and maybe the S13 ones too... you'll have to check.,

they said what we need is front inner lower ball joint.they try to put it on today but i got the wrong one.

yea, the one you bought is the outer one, you can see the difference in the photo for the inner one, the inner one has 4 holes.

S13 should work

[edizer2010]

so that ebay link i showed you wont fit my vehicle?

[Sandersb4671]

40160-AR510 is part number btw.

[Sandersb4671]

The ebay link you posted is for an s13 balljoint.. If you're not sure, or if S13 is wrong, then you're probably best just getting in straight from the dealership. Take them the part number I posted and see if they can order it

S13 and R32 use the same lower control arms to the best of my knowledge... at least Driftworks sells there adjustable ones as the same product.

[edizer2010]

Beware sending your vehicle to Canadian Tire. Changing the ball joint probably wont be an issue but I would avoid having them do any engine work on the car. I would recommend you try to find some fellow JDM owners in your area who can refer you to a good shop.

Good luck.

DON'T DO ANY ENGINE WORK AT CANADIAN TIRE. I used to work there at the service department. CT is for tires, oil change and basic maintenance.
