Wiper ball joint help

Does any one know a quick fix for my wiper problem, the ball joint at the bottom of the passenger wiper (that the bit under the scuttle) that connects to the actuating arm has come off. I can pop it back on however the ball joit which I think is steel looks a bit corroded, and the plastic cup it sits in which look fixed in the actuating arm will not stay clip on.

My question is can the plastic cup be replace, or have I got to buy a new arm and is the ball joint worn - maybe a common problem in which case is this the part to replace.

Thanks

You can drill out the worn cup then turn the link around. So the opposite good end goes where the worn one was. Add lots of CV joint grease. Worked for me :)
