Ballpoint Replacement Question

Ballpoint Replacement Question
I have some bad klunking from my passenger side wheel when going over bumps, and am fairly certain it is a bad balljoint(even though it looks fine, and I didn't feel that much play in he wheel). I have read up on balljoint replacement, and it sounds like a huge PITA(even though I DO have a 300ft-lb Impact Wrench).
It sounds like most people are of the opinion that the LCA should be replaced instead. I am strongly entertaining this, as I have hit two potholes HARD causing popped tires on the passenger side(seriously, roads in the city of Chicago are worse than you would expect in a third world country)
My question is, I found this site(http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...gs+Best+Seller) which shows both LCAs for $100. Does anyone have any opinion o this? Too good to be true? Seems way easier to just replace both LCAs than mess with the ball joint

Usually, it is better to just replace the LCAs altogether rather than dealing with the balljoints especially if your LCAs are old or if you live in a pothole ridden city. I share your pain. NYC has really crappy roads. I've cracked an LCA before. Anyway, check out rockauto.com. They have great prices and you can find a coupon code floating around. They have some good brands as well.
