You need to be more specific on what you are referring to. The compressions control arms refers to the "C" shaped arm in the front of the vehicle. You pasted a link (with a "mailto" incorrectly inserted, by the way) that depicts the rear suspension.
The only lower arms in the rear with a ball joint assembly are not compression arms. By part name, they are Rear Suspension Assist Links.

Sorry, it was an attempt by phone, Fail.
CODE, you've got it, i am looking for the Rear Suspension Assist Links. In the CAPS, it shows the Joint removed from the arm, thus giving me the impression they can be removed and replaced. Can they be replaced without replacing the whole arm?

I may be crazy but I seem to remember reading that they are the same as the front uppers. I have a new upper one that I can measure tomorrow once I pick up my caliper, if you want.

Sorry I didn't get the pictures up last night, I couldn't find my camera. I still haven't found it, so I took a picture with my cell. Sorry for the quality.
The ball joint does look different, there is an addition groove along bottom (red measurement). The 33mm area also looks taller, so I have no idea if it will help or not.
Yellow= 13.5mm Brown= 14.94mm
purple= 33mm green= 31.39mm
blue= 34.26mm red= 33.32mm
black= 42.23mm Black "I"= 10.77mm
If it turns out that it might work and you need more measurements, just let me know.
