they are quite cheap. I just got a pair of someon on hear for £15. They are about £18 each and takes about an hour to do each side if you have a press that is! They need pressing out of the bottom arm and then pressing back in

give him a quick ring on 865960, tell him its a ball joint on the s12 silvia
and you will bring the arm and new joint in.
