Front Lower Ball Joints

So I've been looking around to replace my front lower ball joints. Seems to me that the ball joints themselves are not available from Lexus/Toyota, only available as the entire lower control arm assembly. Is this accurate? Is there an OEM ball joint option? Dealer also told me that they only have assemblies, not ball joints themselves.

Don't think the ball joint was ever available from Toyota as a separate part. Toyota sells a boot kit in case the joint is good but the boot is torn/damaged. Take a look.

If you need ball joints can't say which aftermarket ones are good I have not had good experience with any of them. I have Moog's in one of the cars they are rusting really bad to the point where I'm afraid they will sheer off.
