Rear Toe Arm Help Please

I'm finally doing the 2WS conversion on my 95 Prelude 2.2 4WS, and fitting poly bushes at the same time. I'm using the rear subframe from a 5th gen in place of the existing subframe and 4WS on my 4th gen.

Taking the 5th gen subframe apart to do the bushes, I noticed that the ball joints on the ends of the (excuse me if I have named this part wrong - I'm a novice) rear toe arms are kaput (i.e. VERY loose, and one is leaking grease). I'm referring to the bit in the red box (I take the bit in green box to be the toe arm).

The ball joint is not detachable from what I see, so I assume I need to get a pair or toe arms instead. My questions are -
- Am I correct ?
- Are these still available ?
- Can someone suggest compatible aftermarket ones at a good price ?
- Does anyone have used ones in decent condition that I could buy ?

Yeah the boll joints on the toe arms are not removable and only come as part of the arm. I have the Megan Racing toe arms on the race car and they are good. Quite cheap here http://bmmperformance.co.uk/product/hon ... an-racing/

Thanks Merlin

I don;t suppose anyone has a decent quality used set of something similar I could buy?

Drax - either to be honest. Price is the big decider at the moment. Uprated toe arms would be preferable as this is to be my track car, but I'm happy to get standard toe arms in good condition as a temporary measure so I can at least get the car back on the road.

Drax - are the ball joints in good condition? Are there bushes on the other end of the tie arm (sorry I'm a noob at this), and if so, as they in decent condition ?

ive just cleaned them up and the rubber joints seem in good nick, plus ive checked the thread that the nut goes all the way up and down fine. there is no rubber bush at the opposite end, its a solid mount
