kombi ball joints can be a pain in the arse i,ve had some that just wont come out and some just pop
you need to press them out and then press them in
but they are $30 each plus fitting

$$ for fitting is where the expence is, not in the parts. At a guess there's a good day's labour to fit them + a wheel alignment afterwards.
And like most jobs, while your spending big $$ to have the front end pulled appart you may as well spend a little extra and have all wearing parts replaced.
It's amazing how a little $30 part can suddenly becomes a $1000 job!!
Another option is to find two good ball joints on a wreck and just swap the top arms of the suspension. Still a big job to replace though.
