I just bought a 2003 Ford Crown VIctoria P71 (Police Interceptor edition) and I need the lower ball joints replaced, and one of the upper ball joints replaced.
No one seems to know where I can find some after market parts for this.
What mechanics are telling me is that Ford stopped making just the ball joints and now I have to buy the entire control arm for the parts I need.
My control arms are good, is it possible just to replace the ball joints if I found a place that had them available?
And if so where could I find them?
So far the quotes I have range from 900 to 1020.08 with $693.00 going toward the control arms.
I am assuming that just getting the two lower ball joints and the one upper ball joint is cheaper than paying for control arms that I dont need.
Also, for the Police Interceptor I was told that the Upper ball joints I could use just the regular Crown Victoria parts but for the Lower Ball joints I need more expensive heavy duty parts.
Is that true?
