    Unfortunately I don't I got mine from the Toyota dealer when I returned with my pants down to but the whole arm... I got a different parts person who informed me that they normally just install those ball joints outside of warranty and that it's the only ones the guys in the shop will install in lieu of OEM arms. The supplier on the box said Altrom but when I went to the site it appeared that they only sold to authorized dealers... I tried registering my tuning business to become a "dealer" with my trade ticket as a mechanic and all but no dice. Plus they only sell in bulk and I don't need a dozen ball joints at a time.

    Rumour on the block near me is that NAPA also sells 555 ball joints but I haven't fact checked that.

    I've had terrible luck with NAPA parts so I avoid them for anything that's not a general use "shop supply" like washer fluid, brake clean etc. My two most notorious incidents being 3 reman alternators for a maxima I had in high school that wouldn't charge and 1 new one that was outputing 24.7 volts at idle then taper wheel bearing for my ranger that were rusted on the rollers and races out of the box.

    I'd still give them a call because the whole arm is not cheap and I seem to be alone with my NAPA experiences. Even my neighbours in town have had nothing but good to say about the local NAPA.
