Does anybody here have experience with the "ix" balljoints from RockAuto?

I'm currently trawling the web to see if I can find replacement balljoints for the FCAs on my ix. The FCAs themselves are in pretty good condition (actually they look like they're only a few years old) so I'm not massively keen on on buying new arms if I can spend the money on a shop press instead :).

Anyway, I found a bunch of sources for the outer balljoints, but no inners. Haven't looked in Germany yet, that would probably be the next step. However I did notice that RockAuto is listing a bunch of both inner and outer balljoints for the ix. Given that they also seem to list a regular 325 control arm on the same page (judging by the price) I'm not 100% convinced that these are the correct parts so I'm wondering if anybody has bought or seen these before?

what brand are they ? if they arent Lemforder or Meyle i wouldnt trust them anyway

Napa sells the Lemforder inner/outer ball joints (from Altrom) inner #atm L1054301 about $100 ea

They aren't neither Lemforder nor Meyle, although I do recognise one of the brands (Quinton Hazell) as they're a fairly well known brand of aftermarket parts in the UK (where I used to live). Here's a link to the relevant page: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca...parttype,10070

Looks like my local Napa should be able to order the ball joints so I guess I'll hit them up if I decide that I want to replace the ball joints instead of the whole arm.

anyone have these pressed in locally? I think my driver's outter is going bad.

I'd just replace the whole arm, but I don't want to deal with the CAB.
