Default Help!!! Need New control arms with ball joint

Hey guys..
I just install my new coilovers ( Megan EZ ). My car is 2001 GS300 134xxx miles. and my mechanic said that I need a new ball joint up & lower. I did some search and I found the OEM for $219 each ( which I think is expensive ).
I need you to help me buying something has a good quality.
I could spend around $550 to $600.
Thanks..

Check rockauto and get some moog lbj and uca's. lbj's are around 30-60$ (don't forget the grease!) and ucas around 75-130$..just checked it and moog lbj's are not available at the moment. they are available on ebay for 63$ each.

I checked 1aauto.com, is there a way to tell which brand they sell you?

Moog is a solid brand. I have EZ too with 19" and no fender gap. Rides good. I would do the outter tie rod too since you doing the lower ball joint. Tie rod are about 15 a piece or so.

Thank you very much..
I just ordered:
*upper control arms
*lower ball joint
*outer tie rod
do I have to grease all the joints on all the parts?
