Default 1997 Accord front lower ball joint works for S2K rear lower ball joint.

I just wanted to post this for anyone who may search in the future. I replaced my failed rear lower ball joint on my AP1 with a 1997 Honda Accord front lower ball joint. The 4 and 6 cylinder accord uses the same front lower ball joint, so it doesn't matter which one you buy. I hope this helps somebody in the future.

I used a boolean phrase on google and searched for "site:s2ki.com rear ball joint napa" I find that google makes it much easier to search S2ki than the search engine on here does.

This thread is what keyed me in:
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/470...s/page__st__25

So, I am not the original person to figure this out. I just wanted to make a thread that was easy to find for people in the future. Mine failed at the track and I was able to search around on a phone to find the solution while towing my car back to a friend's shop.

These are probably the parts HTG sells, too.

I mangled up a rear joint fixing my CV axles, and thought I'd have to spend big bucks getting the whole knuckle in. I had a shop replace the joint for $100...a deal considering it would take me several hours.
