I replaced both ball joints on my own. Used moog parts and I think they're $28 each. You'll need to get a bushing press kit to press the old one out and the new one in - but you can borrow one from an auto store. There are videos on YouTube to see if it's something you want to tackle.

Moog is great quality if you buy the ck part numbers.
I had this issue with some moog ball joints recently. Convinced me never to buy moog again.
Moog Problem Solver ball joints are legit
I will never, ever put another non OEM steering or suspension joint on the car again after having the cheap shit fail multiple times. It's so fucking bad I google searched miata moog ball joint and this is the first thing that pops up.
Moog, moog, and moog. That’s the only brand I will use for aftermarket ball joints.
A Moog ball joint broke as I was installing it. Will never use their parts again.
Not a fan of moog anymore, though.
All 4 of my ball joints on my 05 f150 4x4 are new moogs. My first drive after they were all on felt awesome.
I've replaced a radiator hose, a power steering pump, serpentine, clutch fan, a u joint, and I just did all four ball joints with Moog, and put shocks all around it at 190k this winter. I also just replaced all four o2 sensors when one went bad because at 191k....you figure you've gotten your money's worth!
