    Or, do I have to buy the whole upper ball joint and lower control arm to get these replaced?

    I could just call them, but, around where I live, the employees that work the auto parts stores are next to clueless unless it's in their friggin' computers. Bunch of youngsters with Justin Beiber haircuts.

    If not at these places, where's a good recommendation to get new ones?

    Thanks,
    Eric

    I tried those stores a couple weeks ago and couldn't find any. There was one in the help section at O'Reilly but not the correct size.

    The Mustang parts houses have them. I would use Melvins or Rock Auto. I actually found mine at a local place called John's Mustangs.

    That's okay, guys. Thanks much. I just checked last night and you can get the whole upper ball-joint assembly with new everything for $32. The entire lower A-arms are, like, $40 each. This is at O'Reilly.

    Thanks,
    Eric
