Sorry to bring this up again, but I've searched here and elsewhere fairly thoroughly over the last few weeks, but cannot find exactly what I'm looking for.

Would like to buy the lower OEM (or best quality) ball joint already mounted up in it's attachment, ready to bolt on. Can I get some good online vendors to check with?

If buying that lower arm (not the whole control arm assembly) with the ball joint already pressed in is not possible, I'll pull mine and get new ball joints pressed in at local shop, but would rather avoid that. This is my daily driver, minimum down time.

I'm about ready to proceed after looking at many writeups here, as well as youtube. But I seem to have missed any 4th gen specific threads, as opposed to the many 3rd gens. This will be my first time doing this. Will change the tie rod ends as well along the way, so need to order those too.

Thanks for any info to move this project along!

Isn't the lower ball joint pressed into the lower control arm assembly?

RockAuto is a good online vendor that I have used before. Good prices, fast shipping.

Am I confusing the lower control arm assembly with the larger A-arm assembly? Everytime I look at a different parts diagram seems something is different :doh:

I just want the minimum bolt on assembly if possible.
 
I think I've been mis interpreting what it's pressed into, I thought it was the smaller arm at bottom of pic, #48625.
Now I see its the arm.

Ok guess I will order the ball joints and get a press kit.

Sorry for the confusion!
