Default ? about Rear Control Arms b4 I put up FS

I have attached pictures of rear control arms with the following part numbers: 993 331 145 03 (2), 993 331 143 02 and 993 331 143 00.

I have looked at the PET and do not see these numbers, so I suspect that they are Superseded. I think 145 03 are the kinematic toe arms and 143 02 and 143 00 are the lower arms

Here are a couple of questions. All the ball joints feel tight and all the outer sides have spherical bearings. Are the ball joints suppose to stay in position? The one on 993 331 143 02 is the only one that stays in place wherever I move it, but the others do not? Does that mean it is the only one that is good or the only one that is bad. Do stock arms come with spherical bearing?

I am thinking about asking $150 for each kinematic and $100 for each of the others or $400 if someone wants all. Is this a fair price?

These are available new from TRW at about $140 and $115 each so maybe you need to drop a little

the ball joints seem to be robust, as long as the boots aren't torn or loose they are likely in good shape.
you should figure out who made the monoball ends and what use they've seen and how old.
if the monoballs are in good shape figure 50% of retail($120) and 50% of TRW retail and your prices might be close.

Thanks for the information. TRW is a new one for me.

It is a race car and arms where on the car when I bought it. I replaced them with TRG and fixed kinematics. All sphericals appear to be in good shape with no play.

TRW is the OE manufacturer.
