remanufacturing front end parts

I was wondering if there was anyone out there who knows a place where I can mail control arms and all steering control arms to have them remanufactured and mailed back to me?

Re: remanufacturing front end parts

What do you mean by "remanufactured"? If you just mean new ball joints & bushings, a local auto garage can press out the old stuff & press in the new stuff.

With the weight of the a-arms, I wouldn't wanna know the shipping on those things!

Re: remanufacturing front end parts

anyone with a hydraulic press can do it for you, odds are thats it's probably cheaper to buy a new front end kit, than to pay somone for new parts and to remove and install the parts

It can all be done in the driveway with "rental" tools from autozone, along with a little determination and a BFH!

yeah i replaced the balljoints in the a-arms with a BFH in about 4 hours, for each side, i will never due that again, and would not recomend it, beside the fact that you can destroy the ball joint too easy, with the autozone tools it's much more possible, just a pain in the butt
