Replacement Double Ball Joint Recommendation for SCS/Frigette Double Coach Step

Question

Question:

I have a 2006 Newmar Ventana Diesel Pusher that has a SCS/Frigette Double Coach Step. I was informed the company was bought out by Lippert. My problem is that the bolt that extends and retracts my step a double ball joint sheared off. I was wondering if I need to use the Replacement Double Ball Joint for Lippert Electric Coach Step Item # LC388220.
