There are no such thing as upgraded ball joints. You can't buy just ball joints from the factory either. Go anywhere and ask for a ball joint for a 3s and they will tell you they have to sell you a whole control arm.

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.
