Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have an issue with my lower control arm. My car did not pass safety inspection due to torn bushings. I have replaced the bushings and ball joint, but now my repair center is telling me the small ball joint at the base of the air spring is bad, thus a replacement control arm. My question. Is there a source for the center ball joint that connects to the bottom of the air spring? I have searched the forum and internet without success. I also have the alldatadiy service and cannot find it there. Help sourcing this part would be great.
Thank you,

Ladies and Gentlemen:
After intensive searching I was not successful in finding a solution to the bad ball joint at the base of the air spring. I also was backed into getting the car back on the road. Both lower control arms are now replaced and an alignment. I hope I am good to go for a while.
Thank you,
