My garage recently advised I need to replace the ball joints on the car in the near future as one side is loose. Does the ball joint for this car includes the lower control arm, joints and bushings?...or are they separate?
I just replaced the tie rod ends about 3 months ago and had an alignment done. Do I need to have another alignment done after the ball joints are replaced?

the ball joint, is just the ballpoint. and if you replace it because the old one is loose, it will probably need to be realigned, but it wont be too off.
