Default Replacing rear upper balljoint

My rear upper balljoint needs to be replaced, and Honda only sells the whole control arm. Normally I'd only be slightly bummed about that, but it will take a week to get here and I have a track day in four days.

I read in another post that someone was able to use a balljoint from an accord to replace the rear LOWER ball job not, but it looks like the uppers and lowers are different parts.

Does anyone know of a ball joint that will work in the upper rear control arm? Preferably one that's readily available.

Get one from a 97-99 Accord, works like a charm.

on the topic of that control arm, are the rear upper bushings the same as the front upper control arm bushings?

seems that mugen and spoon list them as the same. The dealer has em for 27.40 each

Yes upper control arm bushings are the same for AP1 I don't know about AP2 since they have different rear upper control arms than AP1
