Absolutely...particularly the prices that Corvette Recycling sells the control arms for PLUS the OEM ball joint assembly is riveted onto the arm so to replace just the ball joint assembly you need to grind the rivet heads off and the replacement ball joints use nut & bolts to secure…no where cleaner looking. Replacing the upper control arm is not difficult at all as long as you have a lift or way to get car off its wheels and then a jack to move (compress) the suspension.

If anyone wants to just replace the ball joint I have a new one (yes with nut and bolt fastners) you can have for free...glad to send to you
