I was hoping if someone can give me a correct answer, can the Soarer ball joints be pressed out and replaced with new ones ? |

it is possible to replace them. my garage sent mine away, it came back with a new ball joint. it also had some numbers or initials stamped into the repair, which is required for it to be legal. (nz)i'm not sure this is the best option though. |

Uppers and lowers are still available from the USA. Less than $150USD for a pair of uppers.
Lowers around $1000USD for a pair shipped. No good for UZZ32 and need to check for tabs for UZZ31 fine for all other models. |

Maybe you should act as a middle man Blake, we send LCAs to you, you get the ball joints replaced, add commission, send them back, just an idea |

You would think someone could weld a tab on for the 31's |

as soon as you weld a steering or suspension part, you start running into legalities. |
