Default Replacing front lower ball joint

My passenger side front lower ball joint is torn and leaking grease all over the place. Have any of you had experience replacing this and know how much work is involved? I think it's the ball joint connected to the compression rod or the one that is toward the front end since there are 2 lower ball joints in the lower front. I've tried to search around for prices for the joint online but some dealerships responded saying that I have to purchase the whole knuckle assembly if I was looking for the rear front ball joint.

Thanks

-Rog

They are not available seperately.. You have to replace the complete lower arm...

you can find it on our OEM parts site...

Buy a generic boot from your local parts store and call it a day.
