2001 XK8 Front Lower Control Arms

2001 XK8 Front Lower Control Arms
I was unable to find the answers to my questions (below) so I thought I'd ask them here. I have a 2001 XK8 with loose control arm ball joints.
1) The part numbers are:
Right
Part Number: W0133-1824608
Left
Part Number: W0133-1824603
Is this correct?
2) Will any other part numbers work?
3) Have the new control arms been corrected per the front suspension TSB?
4) Are these control arms truly not serviceable?
5) Are there any refurb/remanufactured (less expensive) ones available?
6) From a safety aspect, what is the level of urgency in getting loose control arms replaced?
7) Was there ever a recall issued for these control arms?
8) Did Jaguar ever provide partial to full financial relief to owners who faced having to pay in the neighborhood of $1200 for a new set of control arms?
Thanks,
Dave

It looks like you have quoted Part Numbers from an aftermarket supplier and not the Jaguar numbers?
(click on the image to enlarge it)
Jaguar do not list replacement ball joints but they are available from aftermarket suppliers as are refurbished wishbones.
Check this recent thread for information on replacing ball joints:

Sorry about this, I mis-identified the control arms by car has. I guess it has the follow-on variety. Are these better and less prone to failure?
I still have the questions above too.
Thanks!

Bottom Line ... Price
It seems that one control arm typically costs $425+ and the other one costs $625+ for a total of $1050+ for the two control arms.
Does anyone know where there is a pair of lower control arms which cost less? Rebuilt, remanufactured? Perhaps someone bought a pair a while ago with the intent to install them, but they're still on the shelf in the garage?
Thanks!!

My local Jag mechanic says the ball joints are not serviceable. Does he have a point or is he blowing smoke?
I have read in other places in this forum how Jaguar states the control arms are not serviceable, does not offer the replacement ball joints but that they are available from 3rd party manufacturers.
