Friend of mine had same problem with leagers a-arms, (word from the experienced) Leagers stuck everyone who bought his first production a-arms, they had a serious ball joint breaking problem, and when he came out with a "fix" he decided it would be too much work and not enough profit to retrofit his old arms, so he will only sell you new ones, or you can buy the new 16MM ball joints from him and fix them yourself. But anyway Ricky Stator sells the same 16mm ball joints, and we retrofitted the old leagers a-arms with them. So far no problems!

Yes there is a auto ball joint that fits. For the lone star, They use a 79 ford courier right side tie rod end( I belive its right side but youll have to look at the thread to be sure). Leager and Jd performance and a few others use 85 VW bug right side tie rod end. I know this becouse i buy all my ball joints from the auto store as do the a arm manufacturers.Also costs half as much as getting them from the dealers!
