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.
