    Hi all. While replacing the wheel bearings and installing the lift I discovered that my lower ball joints are heavily worn. left hand side actually had water inside and when I flexed the spindle to get it off some rusty water actually shot out. I can find the tie rod ends but I'm not having much luck with the ball joints. It appears they aren't serviceable.

    Had that issue with my Acty also. Found ball joint for Polaris Ranger was an exact fit. And only about $15.

    Friend of mine is a welder and had to grind weld off original and weld in new one. I’ll see if I can find the part number. Pretty sure it was a mid 90’s Polaris Ranger. Exact match. It was my left side that was bad too. I do have a spare right side control arm if anyone needs one.

    Is the control arm new? I live in Titusville, so not far from you. How much for the control arm, please?
