So why no use the RaceFab Rear Trailing arms? It's about $550.00 USD.

By aftermarket you mean RTErnie? If that's the case those just got really easy to make myself for less than $200....

Yup I looked at a set that RTErnie made and cross referenced the part number. When you get the ball joints they have a different number on them. SMH, I dont know why MOOG does that.

No, the K772 is the "Mopar" ball joint which is used on some aftermarket arms like the R/TErnie ones for example. The picture they show of those online is exactly how they look in that they thread into the arm vs being pressed in like the OEM piece.

Was just reading this thread as there is a chance I might need to be doing some ball joints in the rear. Came across this just in case anyone is in need of them. https://www.maperformance.com/produc...SABEgJ7_vD_BwE

Aftermarket Trailing Arms are available but they are more expensive than an OEM arm.

This is definitely NOT TRUE . You definitely can buy just the ball joint. Maybe not through Mitsubishi, but there are several companies that sell them. Hard Race makes/Made them, but they are getting harder to find, but if you Look on eBay, you will find some... And remember that all 3 rear ball joints are the same.
