I can buy the bushings separate, and the ball joints. I can also get a complete kit from Rock auto. With 348K on the odometer I think a thorough refresh is in order

ARG!!! FREAKING ROCK AUTO PROCESSED MY ORDER, CHARGE MY CREDIT CARD AND CANCELLED THE ORDER, however RA Customer service said it will take 3-4 days to reverse the charges. NOT A GOOD WAY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS

sorry about the rock auto issue, i'm having an issue with shockwarehouse i ordered 4 bilstine shocks for my truck in march. took 2 weeks to get them, now one is leaking, under 3K miles. they want me to return the shock and then they will send it to bilstine and see if it's a warranty item i'm SOL till they do the process.

i'm not buying from an online merchant anymore. in-store only for me.

Just replace the whole assembly, that way everything is fresh and rust free. I just went through this with my girlfriend's subaru, it was more cost/time effective to do the complete a-arm then ball joint and bushings.  

I recommend replacing the whole assembly as well.

My dad has a 2wd dodge and we tried replacing the ball joints and bushings but removing the old ball joints ruins the sleeve they go in on the a arm most of the time so that new ball joints never tightend up. We ended up having to replace the assembly anyway. I will never try replacing just the ball joints again on that truck, you're time and money ahead to replace the whole assembly and be done.

I lucked out and found  a new one on Craigslist at a freigtliquidator. Paid $70 for the whole assembly. Move out of 911 please
