Default Lower Control Arm Recommendations Please!

Want to rebuild the entire front suspension on my 1994 4X4 sport 2 door blazer and can't seem to find LCA's anywhere other than AC Delco ($277 per side). Shops keep telling me it's cheaper to go this route than to replace/press new ball joints. Any recommendations for lowers? Thanks!

ACDelco would be the likely best as they are basically GM parts..

If a shop is doing the work for you it might save time and thus money to buy the complete arms. In addition to the new lower ball joints, they will come with new bushings

People who do their own wrenching might go with the route of rebuilding them since the bushings and ball joints are less expensive on their own.

I chose to purchase new ball joints and bushings. As far as I can tell a press is required to remove and replace the bushings, but I have not yet done the work.
