Default A-arms needed (96 GT)

So my suspension is getting pretty bad in the front and I thought I needed new ball joints so I got some and was having a mechanic I'm friends with replace them since he'll do my work for cheap and he told me my ball joints had worn the holes in the arms out and I needed to get the oversized ones. Well I got them (napa brand) and took them to him and he tried to put them in and they were still too small for one side and he said I'll just have the same problem and I should look at getting a new A-arm or 2. So my question is where should I look to get them? I'm not seeing much online and I dont see the need for tubular ones. Its just a car I drive around during good weather. No racing. Figured I would try to do this and struts and maybe some springs all at once.

Thanks.

I think FRPP sells the 03-04 Cobra a-arms, which are an upgrade for your GT.

If you change your mind and decide to go tubular, let me know and I'll get you a discount on the UPR parts.

Really just depends on what you want to do with your car, but in general, UPR Products work very well for street, strip, or handling with minor changes in setups. What is your goal for the car?

Over time build it into a street and strip car because of money I can't do it all at once seeing that I'm only 18 but all of my money goes into the car now and suspension is next on my list
