If the price was even slightly competetive with the price of new ones, 
that would be sweet.  I think you can buy a new control arm with 
bushings installed for about $70 (US) or so.  I wouldn't mind having to 
buy four new ball joints at the same time.  (How much would they be, 
typically?)

I am planning on replacing all these arms and bushings this summer on my 
90Q, so if I could use a part that allows easier camber adjustment I'd 
be very interested.
