Has anyone found a replacement rear ball joint for the CT9A? (other than Hardrace?)


I'm rebuilding the rear suspension on my high mileage 9 and would like to replace everything if possible, however more than $400 bucks just to replace all six of the rear ball joints isn't sitting to well.


Thanks,

I just did all the rear ones. If you call/email them and order 6 at once they can provide a steep discount. Just FYI

I was in the process of looking to replace ball joints and what not. I did not know there was 6 ball joints in the rear.... rip

So it looks like hardrace screwed up. I have the invoice from THEIR supplier in Taiwan. $20 per set lol. Ill share the info shortly.

Shoot. Was hoping this would be viable. Wonder if another vendor would be interested in becoming their vendor and giving us a better price...

bump - still looking for an alternative. I'm having a hard time with such a huge markup on this part.

No other alternatives. Call hard race and let them know that you know they only pay $20/ball joint and make a deal...lol

You wouldn't be able to get it from their supplier at all unless you become their vendor too. Kind of like how my cousin runs a skateshop and all our products comes from a supplier at a very cheap price and we have to sell them at almost twice the price we got them for. But no one else can get it through our supplier because of dealer/vendor licensing issues. So yes, that is a huge mistake the supplier and/or vendor made when they left the invoice in there.

Although someone can contact the supplier and see if they can become a vendor too and sell these ball joints. If the ball joints are exclusive to Hard Race, then you'll just have to ask for a special price through Hard Race or their vendor.

so all three ball joints are the same thing? they are all interchangeable?

Yup, all 3 sets in the rear are the same.
