HHR SS Ball joint news

Hi all:

I put this here in General instead of Suspension Forum to make sure it's not overlooked.

Jimmy at CTR in Korea (maker of the OEM SS ball joints) is asking me how many ball joints I want immediately.

It sounds like they have them ready.

Who wants one?

I am also thinking of contacting Rock Auto and giving them Jimmy's contact info so they might start carrying the ball joint.

Thanks
Steve

Great news! Thank you!

Subject to details, I’d be in for a least a couple.

My first question to the vendor would be about minimum order. My second question would be about availability of samples.

If anyone wants to review the prior thread:

Put me down for 4 if they aren't more than $100 each. I am coming up empty on locating new control arms. I am currently trying to find some used ones from scrap lots to rebuild in addition to my own set.

Ball joints are the problem. Have you tried the GM parts departments for the complete assemblies.?
