cheapest place to get S4 control arm balljoints?

I ripped both when doing my five lug swap, but that rubber was crusty and dry rotted anyway. so, where is the cheapest place to get new ones? i can get them for i think 95 shipped on ebay, but is there a cheaper place i should know of?

thats not a TERRIBLE price.....

are you sure you need ball joints though...or did you just rip the boots? because installing an aftermarket set(the ones that require drilling the control arm) can be a bitch to get dead on........you must get an alignment after anyways though.

but I would try Napa and partsource and those guys.....mazda speed might make some too....

with your chassis parts I would never buy cheap ones. to much depends on then see if you can find moog ones in my opion they are the best. Most of the time you can get them at carquest or ask your local parts store for them.
