not that many had to replace, but in general if the part numer is correct its fine to use.
rockauto has a solid reputation and will sell a quality part
make sure it includes bushings preinstalled

Just to be clear, you are aware that the lower ball joints are a part of the knuckle assembly and not the LCA?

Knuckle: http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/...All&vinsrch=no

LCA: http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/...All&vinsrch=no

The only reason to replace the whole LCA's would be if they are damaged/bent OR to replace the inner/outer bushings in mass WITH the LCA.
