Local auto parts stores are not reasonably priced on the lower or even upper ball joints. It does appear they make the control arm joint. CPP has the uppers for $60 a pair and the lowers for about $90. Once again, not sure about lead time.

On the control arm is there any play that is acceptable when the joint is totally unloaded? I don't recall any play in the wheels when they were on, so I'm not sold any off this stuff is truly shot, but I am here now and I realize now's the time to do it. I just question, do I let it hold me up 30+ days OR do I run it and if I notice anything once together replace it then AND enjoy her while I wait on the parts.
