They are expensive because the ball joint is not serviceable. It's honestly a waste to trash the arm when the ball joint goes bad but no one has made a serviceable ball joint yet.

it wanders, creaks and pops when low speed turning. If you look at it and see a torn boot its either bad or on its way out!
