    As long as they aren't bent, the ball joints are serviceable if you have access to a press.

        I ordered the outer ball joints and plan to replace them tomorrow, along with shocks and most every bushing.

          I bought the control arms from ECS. $345 a piece. For my second ix (sedan), I just replaced the outer ball joints. Inner ball joints are very hard to source for the ix.
