How about these?

Rockauto doesn't list these as available. For $50 a pair I am tempted to just get them and store them.

What's our option should the ball joints or bushings wear out. The 98 control arms were available but not these

I have an extra set of OEM on the shelf that need rebuilt. It would have to be done by someone who knows what they're doing, as I they are not technically serviceable, but it can be done.

The ones on the car were through RockAuto a few years ago. Very affordable cast aluminum replacements. Maybe they will get them back in stock sometime?

So, are my stock OEM units rebuildable? What parts are used?
