    Ball joint on 07 Wrx. Help!

    Have a 07 Wrx with steel lower control arms and want to know if I can just replace the ball joints or have to get new control arms.

    The ball joint is replaceable. There is one bolt with a lock pin underneath. Remove that and you'll be able to pull the ball joint.

    My 07 Wrx has 130,000 miles on it and all the dealer did was spray a coating on the lower control arms.

    I think that was a recall that had gone out before. i had gotten a recall on my 04 wrx and thats what they did, just inspected and sprayed as long as it was till in good shape.

    Yeah I remember that recall it was back in fall/winter 2011.
    It was a geographic recall Subaru Dealers inspect the degree of corrosion and either replace or rustproof the control arms on vehicles registered in the 20 snow winter states included in the recall.
    My 05 WRX just got a rustproof coating they told me they didn't need to replace it.

    The coating the dealership sprayed on my control arms is already flaking off and it hasn't been a year.
