Anybody replaced their front link rods? Any recommended sellers? EBay trustworthy?

Re: Front link rod replacement
There seems to be lots of bushes but I'm pretty sure I need a ball setup like this pic from the manual. Have tried tightening the nuts but they are tight as. Can shake by hand and get a small knock and can also hear it knocking while driving

Re: Front link rod replacement
How loose are they? The ball-joints are supposed to move a bit!! Are the strut-top bushes and the anti-roll bar bushes in good condition and are the front cross-member bolts tight?? The knock could be the shock absorber?? Just ideas ;-0

I ended up risking on eBay, £25 each plus shipping. FAI parts out of U.K. Fit perfect and the knock is gone. Ball joints in the original ones felt very loose and worn so pretty happy
