    02-05 Ep3 and 02-04 RSX all share the same ball joint size. Only the 05-06 RSX have the larger ball joints.

    Not to thread jack but if you have driveshaft shop axles in your car and go to replace you lower ball joints with the Moog's be sure to remove the grease Zerk and replace it with a top cap because since the driveshaft shop axles are bigger and thicker than the OEM Honda axles the grease zerk will rub against the axle. I had to do that since I recently replaced my lower ball joints with the moogs.

    A 90 degree zerk fitting will clear the DSS axles CV unit.

    Then which ones come with the ball joints, those appear to be 90 degrees to me but I may be mistaken.

    I have this probleme with the moog ball joint. I can't install my axels if I keep the greese thing. Why they sell them if it does'nt fit.

    Is this all I need if my ball joints are done? Cause I called Honda and they said I have to order the whole knuckle, at $400 a piece :(
