Default Lower Control Arm Ball Joints

Just a little confused. I was told I have to change my lower control arm and ball joints. THe mechanic told me that If i purchase the lower control arm online that it should come with the ball joints. Ive been able to find ball joints and lower control arms but they seem to be priced separately. Can anyone help me find them for a nice price. THanks

You may be able to strike a deal with carson or sewell. I got my balljoints from carson last year for like $120.

Go to sewell's parts catalog and enter the four parts and try the discount code "clublexus"

Thats because our lower control arms do not come with lower balljoints. They're two separate items. Also, which lower control arm is he talking about because we have two. One that the shocks/springs seat on, and the other is the caster arm.
