Question upper ball joint

Hi everyone, I have a 92LS400, my upper passenger ball joint needs replaced. Where is the best place to get it? And also, can I get one w/o having to replace the whole control arm. Also,, where can i get a A/C pump, mine is shot. Thanks

I was trying to replace bushings in my spindles(rear) w/o replacing the spindles. It was a waste of time, so I eventually had to buy the whole assembly.
My advise is go to the dealer and buy the upper control arm.
It's about $300 there. In addition to new ball joint, you will get 2 new bushings that also ware out and cause noise. Yours' are probably worn, judging by the fact that the boll joint went.
Good luck.
