'88 Fiero Front Ball Joints at the End of 2024
Upper Ball Joints There is not much choice; GM discontinued them decades ago, Moog/TRW didn’t make them, members report that TFS part won’t fit properly, Rare Parts #10722 is big bucks, and Rodney Dickman started making them around 2004, but he is closing his doors soon…
Not like the lower ball joints; the factory upper ball joints will possible last 200K miles or more. But IF you're thinking that one day you might want to replace the upper, be prepared for the future.....
Lower Ball Joints are a very different story: GM 19463447 / AC Delco Silver 46D2138A GM 88911632 / AC Delco Gold 45D2138 MOOG K5297 and TRW JB986 are getting harder to find And of course, Rodney's plus other standard aftermarket choices like Dorman.
