Y33 ball joint question

Alright, so the last thing I need for my s14 suspension swap are the control arms. I'm having a hard time finding some so I'm wondering what the other options are. Can I just press s14 ball joints into my stock control arms? Can I use s13 lcas with s14 spindles? I know this has been covered but I couldn't find a concrete answer. Thanks!

I used S14 ball joints pressed onto Q45 lower control arms and S14 spindle. Works fine for me. S13 and S14 have different LCA lengths. I believe the spindle and ball joints have to match so to run a S13 LCA, you'll need S14 ball joints pressed it for it to work on the S14 spindle.

One is for Q45 and the other is for a 95-98 240sx. Buy the ball joint to match your spindle.
