1988 Yamaha warrior lower control arm

[TurboGN86]

OK guys I have a 1988 Yamaha warrior and my lower control arm decided that it no longer needed the ball joint. And trying to find a replacement has kept my ATV down for about 6 months. Does anyone know where I can get one or if this ball joint is replaceable?

The Vin identified it as being an 88'

On a 88 warrior you have to replace the a arm. You can replace the ball joints on a 87, but thats the only year that you could.
