Worth a shot, but consider...

that if it isn't a quality part, or if the job isn't done properly, it is a safety issue.
Anyway, if you can find just the joint, the part might be $25, but Monroe probably won't just press the part into the control arm for you. Instead, they'll hit you for an hour or so of labor at $75-90 for the whole job, so how much do you save?
If you can find a joint, you might find a machine shop to press it in for you, then install it back on the car yourself.
FWIW, used control arms on car-part.com run $65 to $125.
FWIW, some indies send people to Monroe for jobs they don't want to do.
