VB has the parts, but you have to piece them together and it's more expensive than just buying from Mazdatrix.

I replaced both my lower control arms last summer (do both, since the inner bushings and outter ball joints go out at the same time, both sides), and the car now drives like new. I highly recommend this if you have the slightest amount of play in your front-end.

I think Mazdatrix had them for about $133 all up (per side), but that includes the new inner bushing, the control arm, plus a brand-new ball joint on the outside end. Money well spent, IMO. Post back if you want the play-by-play...
