Need Ball Joints for a '59 Buick

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by 59BuickWagon, Oct 8, 2006.

  1. Doesn't seem like ball joints for a '59 Buick are the easiest things to find these days. Anyone have any suggestions besides Rare Parts so I can do some comparison shopping?

    Thanks,

    Dennis

    Uppers are next to impossible to find for a 59-60 Buff. Lowers not so bad. I bought both uppers and lowers off that one auction site that starts with E, only place I could find em.

    Don't remember what I gave for em. but they're on the car and workin fine. Keep em greased.

    I work at a parts store and have a few buddies that work at others, so I will see what I can find for you tomorrow.

    Ah, now I remember why I didn't use kanter. $300 for 4 balljoints is bullshit.

    little over $250 for the whole front rebuild kit (how I went).

    About what did they go for on ebay?
