SHF276 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 I've had an advisory on my MOT for slight play in upper ball joint, off side. I had the ball joint pushed out, but now having a headache getting the right size ball joint. The control arm has S84R stamped on it, which I believe is for V6 model, (mine being a 2.0).Any ideas of the size/make of a definitive ball joint.Please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted August 1, 2020 Administrators Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hi there, the upper arms are identical between 2.0, 3.0 coupe and the upper ball joint comes back as Febi Bilstein 26276, which is 12.9 mm cone for both USA & UK models. Please note: aftermarket suppliers have a habit of glossing over things so I can't guarantee its compatibility for either model. I would normally replace the complete arm as the original ball joint wasn't intended to come out really and Honda only sold the arm complete... Anyway I have found a pair on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/1110927742 just hope there genuine Febi Bilstein parts, the bay is full of fakes 🙄 Hope that helps 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHF276 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hi, I've had the run around from aftermarket suppliers, hence me asking the question. I didn't realise the ball joint wasn't meant to be replaced, you live and learn,eh. I thank you for your time and knowledge for helping me out here, it is very much appreciated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHF276 Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Quick update: I managed to get a correct ball joint from a local and established motor store. They got me a Borg & Beck part No: BBJ 5298. £12.50 +£10 to a local garage to press it in. 👀Bargain 👍🏾 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
