need a wheel bearing, what does everyone buy for them?? also the boot that holds grease on the joint on the center of uca is torn is that replaceable or do i need a whole uca? or do i just pack with grease as best as i can?? would this have caused the problem with bearing? thanks,

It's best to replac the whole upper control arm cause it's hard to get the balljoints as tight in the uca. I don't see how the balljoint affected the wheel bearing, probably just wore out.

You can buy a Moog upper control arm with both bushings and the ball joint pre-installed.

For just about ten or twenty bucks more than the ball joint & bushings by themselves.

Here's the part number: K620053

Are tou looking to just replace one side, or both?
Do you want to replace the worn parts with oem or oem equivalent?
Do you want to upgrade? There are several companies that make better than stock upper control arms.
i got some wheel bearings from summit racing once and the last set came from the local auto parts store, they had 2 in stock! And the better quality ones too, not timken though, have probably 8k miles on em now. The summit set came ro my door in like 3 days for the same price as the set at the auto store but i had to get those myself.lol
