Upon buying my 2013 FRS I noticed clunking noises when turning the wheels at stand-still. Mainly when navigating parking lots or driveways. I recently got new tires installed and the mechanic noted that the noise is likely the ball joints needing replacement. My novice mechanic eyes don't see any damage on them visually.



I'm going for an OEM+ type of build so I was wondering of the performance benefit vs comfort trade off in upgrading the ball joints instead of buying the OEM parts? Also, the ball joints look pressed into the control arms, is there any benefit in replacing the whole lower control arm? Doesn't seem to be any damage on the arm itself.



Any insight is appreciated!
