I have a pair of NOS inner ball joints in stock that I found going cheap on Ebay a couple of years ago. Been keeping them for a rainy day.
Many of the other cars I have worked on over the years had some kind of replaceable and/or adjustable cup and spring arrangement to take up play in the joint. On a couple of rally cars we replaced the standard plastic cup with bronze ones because they can break up under loads in competition use. It was a standard modification at the time.
