Default Suspension track control arm

About to do a wheel bearing on my XC70 2010 205bhp with active headlights

I have got the equipment to get the job done re wheel bearing so no issue there.

But while doing it, given I will need to drop the ball joint to get the hub assembly off, and given it's 119K on the clock.

I can hear the tell tale sign of bushes going soft when going over the dreaded speed humps so decided to do the bushes on the track control arm, but it's works out just has cheap and less hassle to buy the arm complete with bushes and ball joint fitted

So questions
1) Anyone got a recommended brand ? Looking at Moog any good ?
2) What is the ball joint cone measurement I found Moog with a 22mm cone is this the correct size ?

Moog are okay, but Lemforder would be my choice. Lemforder parts are top quality & you don’t want to be doing this job for a while again, so it makes sense to spend extra if possible.

I don’t know the ball joint size, sorry.
