And they are $30 for the door latch and $20 for the lock, US.

However, a 4.7 mm ball/socket joint happens to be a very common thing in
radio control car suspensions.  I got a handful of them from my local
hobby shop for $7.

Required a little bit of fabbing to get the new sockets to thread onto the
rod (R/C parts aren't so long as these..) but it wasn't difficult. I can
provide details and pictures if need be.
