Re Vertex ... they do sell the ball joint (which would be all I need) but it says on the vertex site it is only for the UPGRADED control arm. Is there any way to repair the ball joint without buying and installing a new control arm?

Thanks.
The ball joint is an integrated part to the control arm. Vertex takes out the ball joint, threads the hole, and installs a new one.
