Angry Does anyone make aftermarket lower/upper control arms for awd/or used for sale?

I went today to get a front end alignment for my 06 300c awd with 25,000 miles and it needs a left front upper control arm ball joint and right front lower control arm ball joint, Chrysler does not sell them seperatly and they want a small forunte for 2 ball joints(which actually are complete control arms)
Does any aftermarket company make balljoints/control arms for a awd and if so which company is it?
Or does anyone have good used low mile units for sale?
I still can not believe the prices,
thanks,

2 questions:

1) Why are these parts not covered under your initial warranty?

2) How much were you being quoted?

$500 for the lower and $350 for the upper
I thought balljoints are wear items and not covered under warranty and with the extreme pot holes of my city no one will cover balljoints

This website sells Chrysler AWD upper control arms for $178 ea. and lower control are for $250 ea. The only aftermarket upper control arm I know of are the ones sold as camber kits. If your car is lowered and you have too much negative camber then it might be worth it to get front camber kits. I think each front camber kits cost around $250 or so.
