Default Still no new options or am I not looking good enough??? Ball joints

Dunno if this will get moved but...

I ordered the full front upper and lower bushing kit... While waiting i thought i should take a look at my lower ball joints. I have found no new options for a lower ball joint replacement. I really dont want to buy new or even used brackets but it seems like my only option. Used will go bad soon enough and new are just stupid expensive or at least more than i want to pay. do any of u have any knowledge of just replacing the actual ball joint? Coming from the 2GS realm there is this option. Whats the 411???

For the life of me, I remember seeing where someone on here found an alternative method of changing them out w/o replacing the whole lower control arms. Let me do some digging. I saw it some where. I still say that you need to change the whole arm with stock ones or a set of TT.

Not sure if just the outer rubber is all you need to be replaced or if the whole joint is bad. I found this for you.
