Replace Balljoints, OR replace entire control arms??

The whole new control arm is $110 from GM for a factory one with bushings and balljoint already installed. Saving the headache of dealing with the bushings and ball joint is priceless. No brainer. Especially since if you buy good moog ball joint and bushings, its probably gonna be like $75 or so. So why not spend the extra $30 or so and save yourself a ton of time, and you get a shiny new piece instead of the rusted original control arm.

Yep, no brainer is right.

Go with the whole control arm. Bought Moog ones off Amazon for less than OEM. Saves a bunch of time.

As bad as the surface rust is on mine, new is the only way to go, period!
