Lower ball joints for a 61

Why are the lower ball joints around $180 each? Is there a cheaper place to find them? I have looked at LMC and Advance Auto Parts so far.

Re: Lower ball joints for a 61

Im diggin up this old post for more info. Im looking to start replacing the lower joints. It looks like the mount in 3 places. One is a bolt and the other two look like big rivets. Does that sound right? I assume that a kit will come with replacement bolts?
