Default Need a ball joint for an 06

I badly need a ball joint for the front right passenger side

I bought two ball joints and got f-ed by both vendors, one from amazon and one from ebay. I sent them both personal messages pre-purchase and they both said the part would fit 100%.

One of the bolts is too short and thin and the other one is just too thin. I imagine one is for a G35 and the other one for a Fairlady (maybe?)

Can someone please give a link to a ball joint that will work 110% or sell me one a reasonable price?

Here are the wrong parts:




The length and circumference of the part on the right is too short and too thin





Circumference of bolt inside the bag (aftermarket part) is much smaller than OEM bolt.

Thanks anyways, I understand the 2006+ is upgraded parts due to the tire feathering issue in the 05- making this part hunt a giant PIA.
