My lower front ball joints are bad. Can only get control arm assemblies from parts suppliers. Older and other Japan only models have the ball joint seperate with snap ring application for much cheaper fix. Is it possible to take the pressed in ball joint out of control arm and get a ball joint from the other models that would work?
