Whats the recomended way to replace a ball joint on an 89 colt. I have read to buy a new control arm. Is it that hard to replace just the ball joint. My factory manual doesn't say anything about removeing the ball joint from the control arm. Are there any advantages to replaceing the whole arm? Thanks for any input. Greg

You're better off with the new control arm, unless you have a press. Then just get bushings and a ball joint. Think it's probably cheaper.
