Ball Joints

Do I have to get these from the dealer? My RF one is about 5,000 miles from being hosed and I can't find one @ Autozone or Schuck's...

The SVX ball joints are exclusive for it. No other ball joint fits unless it is custom made for it (which so far do not exist).

That's what I thought.. Luckily I only need one, and I don't even NEED it, just the boot was bad on it so I figured I'd replace it now rather than later, Got it on order + a new exhaust donut. $50 for the ball joint and $25 for the gasket, with my discount.
