Don't you

Got to looking around the other day in the wheel wells and noticed this on the drivers side. Did the passenger side a few years ago, you could feel it clunking.

Looks like its about that time. :p:

Only the passenger side was bad and didn't see a need to spend the extra money at the time. It's been 4 or 5 years since I replaced the passenger side.
 






Found the moog replacement brand new at amazon for $80.09!!:D Locally for the same part they wanted $125. Qualified for free shipping but could be a week so I paid the $9 for 3-5 day, still $35 cheaper than local and other places I found on-line. Guess I'll start soaking bolts tonight!
 






is it the whole control arm or just the ball joint.
