Lower ball joints Interchangeable???

HI guy's I'm up here in Edmonton Canada, no aftermarket suppliers have a listing on the front lower ball joints. Do any other models interchange??? I'm thinking the factory replacements would be" pricey"

They're unique to the SVX, nobody carries them down here either. They run about $80US a side from the dealership.

You might want to call Liberty Subaru in New Jersey and ask if they'll ship to Canada.

888-SUBY4WD

Ask for the subaru-svx.net price discount.

Let me know if they do ship to Canada. I've recommended them to a few Canadians, but have never heard if it worked out.

Usually when I call I'm to preoccupied with my order to remember to ask

Be carefull with shipping. UPS have very high brokerage fees. Best is USPS, they have a very nominal brokerage fee.

Brokerage fee's "suck"

Yes I'm fully aware, bought over 100 items off EBAY. I always try & us USPS, only have had to pay duty through them 2X & delivery time is the same, rates are quite reasonable.
I see your from Emonton too! I'm in Sherwood Park, just picked up the black 92 from a student from U of A ...Ok car needs a few minor things. I've got a red 96 & a good 92 green one for a parts car...later

I have bought from www.subaruparts.com out of Seatle. They will ship USPS. Was in Edmonton (Sherwood Park), now in Calgary (Cochrane). You have a couple of part cars or just the 92.

Yes I have our old 92 green one for parts. My son ran it out of oil, motors knocking, so we're just going to use it for a parts car. It's got a new rebuilt trany in it. Also have a Red 96 that he now drives & just bought a Black 92 for my wife. I love these cars, but my real passion is the old mopar muscle. Have a 68 Cuda, 69 R/T Coronet, 70 Charger, 72 Demon & a 72 4X4 El Camino.
Love my cars!!!
Chris
