Have calmed down now...yes, many places want to sell you the whole arm with its two bushings and a balljoint. The annoying thing is that the bushings last forever if properly fitted (as the guy above did with the car down on its wheels) So the balljoint is the wear item. The arms are about 50-60 quid, but the joints are 10-15 quid depending on quality..if my point about the smaller balljoint diameters is true, then if my shimming efforts fail, it may well be a new control arm in the future its so much easier, apart from the pain in the backside to remove the balljoint from the hub
