I've found new tie rods and upper ball joint on the internet, but what about lower ball joint and the main steering linkage ball joins and idler arm ball joints? How can I replace these since they are built into the arms and not just replacing the ball it'self?

What year Luv do you have? I have replaced both upper and lower ball joings, tie rods, and I think the idler arm ball joints. I think they juse unscrew off lik the tie rods. Mine is a 80 Luv 4x4. Do you have a
shop manual to look at?

I would keep checking back on here.
I am sure there are other 73 owners on here and they well help you find the parts. I used Napa parts online (not sure on url address), but I found some parts online I coudnt get at the local store.

Also on aother post in the Body and Chsses section, there are people doing some fabrication with ball joints:
