Looking for one to match the rest of my car. Specifically the lower drivers arm.
Anyone have one? I realize this is near impossible.

Any chance Ford could help you out on this?
Did you determine swapping the ball joint out is impossible?

Agree with Fubar. Find a machine shop that has a reverse engineering table and have them made. Not cheap, but not frustrating either.

You need a guy with a 5 axis CNC machine. I would have him do it with replaceable ball joints. I would also have him talk to alex about the testing expectations that went into the factory units. I have talked with my guy about it but haven' had a need for the product yet. I will buy a set if they meet my requirements.

Jason - contact Roush, they made all the replacement A-Arms.
Give Rich Brooks a call. He would know whom to talk to about this.
(I saw one in the display cabinet at SVT. But I doubt Jamal would part with it.)

Jason, have you looked around for a salvage piece? I know X2 Collision on Ebay deals with a lot of GT's. I hope this is an isolated incident. I know your car doesn't have a lot of miles, but there are lots of cars with more miles and no reported problems? Trying to find a salvage piece might be a good place to start. Good luck friend!
I think the problem with replacement ball joints from what I have discussed with some of the people on the design team is the specific amount of weight that is put on the A-Arm. Maybe Rich or Alex can pop in and comment but there is more weight from the car directly put on the A-Arm and thus the ball joints couldn't be done as replacements and had to be pressed in.
