Default Aftermarket LCA's

With all the trouble us SC owner's have with replacing the lower ball joints. I'm surprised no one has tried to design a lower control arm with replaceable ball joints. How hard could it be to do using the factory ones for measurements?

JapSpeed makes a LCA for the Supra/Soarer that fits our cars.
Never tried it on the SC, and don't know of anyone who has, but you could probably check on the Supra forum to see what aftermarket LCA's those guys are using.

The Supra LCAs are about half the cost of the Lexus version but are the same/similar and fit our cars. Have not read or seen anyone trying to re-engineer an LCA with replaceable ball joints.

Something like this is what I was thinking. Unfortunately they are sold out of them. They look good and are completely rebuild-able.
