All our a-arms come with ball joints installed and ready to go. Here is a quick link to both our regular tubular a-arms and our 1" lowering a-arms.

If you have any questions let me know and I will answer them.

Unless you can find a set of a-arms at your local junkyard your best bet is going to be to replace the bushings and ball joints in your current a-arms. Both Prothan and Energy Suspension makes replacement bushings and you can get a ball joint from your local auto parts place.

Unless you are looking for more road vibrations to be transfered into the steering wheel and the car, stick with the stock style replacment rubber bushings. I have pollys and I hate them. Usless unless you are racing. And by the way Stay the freak away from the TRW ball joints. Go with moog. TRW lower ball joints screewed up both front lower control arms when I had a guy at the local Chevy dealer try to press them in. Turns out that even thought they make what is called an oversized lower ball joint, even the "standard Size" is over sized and he ended up bending both lower control arms. Buy Moog or the Napa quality brands to replace that stuff. I had to replace both lower control arms due to TRW's lower ball joints being to big to fit the socket.
Old trick you could try IF you are doing the lower ball joints you self is to freeze the ball joint and heat the control arm socket and see if they will drop in. I am not sure I would recomend using a press while the control arm is heated since there seems to be a risk of bending them. You might get luckey and it may drop in or be able to be taped in with a rubber malet.
If you do them your self you Might want to get some advise from any members here that have done them their selves. I bought replacments for the replacments at napa as well as new stock control arms and the guy at the chevy dealer said they went in easier this time when he pressed them in.

Find a shop that does suspension work and have them press in the bushings and ball joints.
The forward bushings must be pressed into the same depth as the original. IOW, if the bushing is pressed until it's flange is up against the control arm, you've gone too far.
