'02 Grand Prix GT

I haven't been on here in a long time!

My gf is having problem w/her '02 Grand Prix GT; bad ball joints.

I went to Rock to buy a setup of uppers and lowers, and can't find uppers anywhere. This is going to be a silly question, but does this car have upper ball joints?? (i've never been under her car)

While I'm in there, I plan on changing out the tie rod ends (100k on them).

I've never really dug into the suspension of this car, so I apologize for the newb questions. Anything else you guys can recommend I should change up while I'm taking everything apart?

no uppers, might want to get wheel berarings as well they go around 110000 and inspect cv boot for rips or tears

Yep bless the Lord ours don't need uppers

Thanks Erik, appreciate the response.

I'm assuming these are riveted in?

Buy the whole control arm, its 40 bucks per side for dormans. It will replace the worn bushings aswell.

The stock ones should be pressed in.

Wow, i just checked new arms out as you recommended Fivefinger...I can't believe how cheap they are. I'd rather buy a new one then deal with removing and pressing in new ball joints...and new bushings is a huge plus that I don't have to deal with.

Spot on recommendation, thank you.

I usually run Moog or AC Delco b/c of their OEM quality and tend to stay away from Dorman...any experience with Dorman control arms?
