Is a Ball joint a ball joint?? And which arms are the OE? Where's the best place to buy? eBay for pair£78.29?,eurocarparts (lemforder) £107.88 with good discount!! Not sure how much they are from the steelers??
I recently bought some lemforder control arms from ecp via Matt (Meatballs82 on here) and the service was excellent, i'd use them again.
The parts look to be high quality kit from a brief inspection, although I haven't got round to fitting them yet.

Having read a lot of posts about changing the control arms over the general consensus, if you can afford to, buy the Lemforder arms (ECP via Meatballs82) and M3 Eccentric rear bushes from the dealers (approx £40 for the pair).
The cheaper arms tend to fail fairly quickly and poly bushes tend to give a worse ride.
Personally I would buy the Lemforder and M3 bushes as its not a job you really want to have to do more than once.
