I bought the full ball joint and tie rod kit from Mid America last March. I replaced my front control arms a month ago because THEY WERE ALL WORN OUT AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR! They are cheap Chinese crap, do not buy them.
Moog ball joints will run you about $80 each at RockAuto, or you can get AC Delco control arms for $100 each if you buy all 4 from Corvette Recycling, which come with ball joints and bushings installed. Please, don't do what I did. You'll just end up doing it right later, so just buy the good parts this time around!
