would rather buy them genuine then get somebody i know to fit them
Yeah, I assumed that would be each. Fair enough, although if they are OEM quality then they should still be fine. I assume when they say recon, they mean they keep the existing cast iron part and put a
new ball joint in it.

u think ill need anything else?there is defo play in the ball joint area....around £100 for 2x ball joints from usa (genuine OEM)
Without checking for play it is hard to tell. The top ball joint could have problems but I would assume they would've spotted that when they checked your suspension out. They are the expensive ones, as they come as part of the top wishbone. I changed my passenger side one recently 'cos there was some serious play in it but luckily I happen to have a spare wishbone for each side in my spares bin. Oh, and try checking the track rod ends too as they are also balljoints.
