Rear Suspension Rebuild

[JDP530]

I just dropped the rear suspension out of my car this evening. I think I have most of the bushings/ bearings but I just noticed that it appears to have a couple of 'ball joints' that I did not see when I ordered all of the bushings.

There appears to be a ball joint on part 6 described as 'rod with rubber mounting' that is like a forward transverse rod. There is a bushing on one end and some sort of ball joint on the other?

Part 19 is a vertical 'compression strut' with a bushing at the top and maybe a ball joint at the bottom.

Has anyone had to replace the ball joints or rods besides the bushings that are pressed on? Thanks,

i only changed the rubber bushing on 6 since the ball joint was still good, but had to change 19 because of play in the ball joint, dont know if 20 is still available separately.

I was able to purchase bushings 6 and 20, but I thought the other ends of both links were just bolts. I didn't realize they are ball joints until I got suspension out of the car today. I guess if they are worn I will need to replace the arms.

i already had complete spare arms but decided to change just bushing on 6, that one is easy to get to if ever the balljoint craps out, waist of money to throw away when you can still get few years out of it.

I had to replace #2 on both sides. It was a HUGE PITA! Did it on the car. Never again!

Can anyone provide part numbers for the grey plastic cable holders that attach to the upper wishbones on rear suspension that hold the ACs, EDC wires, etc? I think 61138355134 is the correct part for the cable clips on upper wishbones.

I also broke one of the plastic junction boxes on back subframe and need a part number to replace one or both. Looks like this is the correct number for the black boxes, 61131392239. Thanks,
