You buy the arms that come with them already installed. I know... what a pain. I have a 98 that needs ball joints and I'm not looking forward to buying all of that either. There is no part number to cross reference to get just the ball joint. A friend of mine says that moog probably makes a ball joint that's the right size, you just have to measure the one that's in there and buy the same size part.
