UGH! Less then 10,000 miles ago, I made the effort of taking all four control arms to a machine shop having prothane bushings installed...Yes, what a difference it made in the handling, now I just noticed the ball joints need to be replaced...appears as though they are not sold separately...am I doomed to having replace my lower control arms I just had new bushing installed?

You can replace the ball joints but you would need a shop with proper equipment and know what you are doing Cutting welding etc. Our ball joint is built into the LCA so when you purchase a "new" LCA it should come with ball joints already.
