123 Lower control arm with ball joints?
 
I've heard these are available with bushings and the ball joint installed. The ones I've seen appear to be missing the joint and are around $150......anybody seen the bush/joint versions?

Unless the steering knuckle is included with the lower arm you won't get a balljoint. The balljoint mounts/is pressed into the steering knuckle. Maybe you are thinking of the upper arm? They are available with bushings/balljoint for as low as $39/arm from Fastlane, call and ask Phil. No reason to replace the whole lower arm anyway. The bushings are about $30/each. RT

It is the upper control arm which comes with the integral ball joint, not the lower. I know this because I just replaced both R and L on my 81 300TD.

Hmm...yes, thanks for the clarification guys, it is the upper arm that has the ball joint attached.
