Check Rock Auto and Amazon for pricing.
The ball joint seal was cracked on one side and the other looked/felt fine until I remove it and saw the bushing inside cracked. Glad I decided to do both (I always try to replace things in pairs)...If you're on original parts, they should all be upgraded, and soon.

You would never see this unless you took it off.

The 4 control arms (coffin, wishbone) 2 in front and 2 in rear are all the same, but the others are different. 2 links (control arms) in front and 2 upper front links, 2 upper rear links in back. Plus 2 toe links (track bars)in the rear.

There are too many different names for the same things!!!
