Default best source for lower control arms?

Does anyone know of a source (hopefully cheap, if such a thing exists) for lowers to a 92 100 CS?

Default ball joints not in arms???????????

Wait a minute. are you saying i can replace the ball joints separately? Doesn't sound right to me. I thought the lower arms had the ball joints built in.

Mine are clunking and I'm pretty sure it's the ball joints.

Default I was told by the dealer that the whole thing needs to be replaced -- picked up a used one for $35..

I picked up mine from car-parts.com (salvage yard search).

My control arm's rubber boot was nicked during replacement of axle.
HTH,
