i broke one of the ball joints adding a lowering link to my 06 s2r [bang] and all a new ball joint runs $100 :'( i found an 04 rear setup with shock and ball joint i need for $100. i was wondering if it would match up right . are the ball joints the same ? whats the diff between shocks ? any help would be great or if u know somewhere to get a less expensive ball joint let me know.
