Default Warrior a arms and ball joints

Hello i'm new to the forum.I own a '98 warrior and the ball joints on the a arms are worn out .
I don't think the pervious owner greased them but thats beside the point.The problem is i dont feel like shelling out $100.(U.S.) a piece to replace them(cant find them seperatly),and i cant find any aftermarket a arms.Any suggestions? Any help would be apprecaited.Thanks

Lone Star Racing sells aftermarket A-Arms for the Warrior. If I remember correctly, they run around $580/set. Costly?...yes.....Worth it?..definitly...I believe they are also +2 on width.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I think the 90's are the same as the 98's and my ball joints are not really greasable - no zerk fittings. Also, they are welded into the end of the a-arms and not removable. I ended up having to replace the a-arms to get the fresh ball joints. Seems kinda early for them to be worn out on a 98 ? - make sure it's not the A-arm bushings or the spindle. The OEM prices are $180 (lower) and $96 (upper) each - OUCH [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I found a decent set on e-bay but that's hit and miss and no guarantees that the ball joints are good and snug.

I still need a left upper w/good ball joint so if ya find something shout !
