Reluctor rings are not expensive;

Fitting them is not difficult (apart from undoing the hub nut, that is!). This link could prove helpful (and a few laughs);

Re: Ball joints ... cough!!
For ball joints do a search on eBay for Delphi or Lemforder. I found Lemforder ones for £12 about 4 months ago. Both are good quality.
Beware the very cheap £2.99 jobbies, they are rubbish!

Re: Ball joints ... cough!!
It's not the buying of them it's the changing of them. Mike, are you sufficiently tooled up for the job?

Tools. You require a very meaty balljoint splitter for the lower swivels and then the special castellated tool to remove/replace them and a 36mm socket to fit the hub nuts and special swivel tool on the end of at least a 4 foot breaker bar...
Also a big soft-face hammer (to knock the hub assembly off the end of the strut) and a selection of cold chisels and punches to raise stakes on the swivel. A big club hammer too is handy for driving the aforesaid punches and chisels...
Oh, and a big vice to hold the hub whilst you replace the swivel!
Having a very long breaker bar is the real secret to making this job reasonably easy..
