How to fix rear control bar?

One of the ball joint on the passenger side rear suspension control bars is worn out. I was wondering how others have fixed this issue. I am not sure I want to gamble with a junk yard part.

If you are talking about the lateral or toe links I dont think they are serviceable
Im putting new ones on my car and have a really nice used one with about 10k miles, if that, on it if your interested. Im putting the battle version ones on my car which is undergoing a suspension restoration which is why im swapping them out.

The bars I am talking about run from the top of the sub frame under the front of the diff to the trailing arms. I maybe interested depending on price.

I can show a picture side by side of the 2 from one my car, one with 150k+ miles and the newer one with less than 10k miles. When I got the car it was bent thats why I changed it

I'm curious, I dropped my whole subframe and did a bunch of stuff when I changed mine out. Is there enough space to remove these bars without lowering the subframe?
