Control arm is $500. You can buy the 2 Moog ball joints, spend an hour installing them and be good as new. And the ball joint tool I am talking about looks like this http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=38335 Never, I repeat, NEVER use those forks to seperate ball joints. All you have to do to get a ball joint free the steering knuckle is smack the steering knuckle itself with a large hammer. Three to five good whacks and the ball joint/control arm will drop free of the steering knuckle and allow you to change the ball joint.
