I need to change out my lower ball joints and was wanting to do this myself. I have an 01 SCrew with torsion bars. I know I can get a press from the auto parts store but I want to go with a greaseable ball joint. My questions are 1.) Do I need to remove the lower control arm thus loosing up the tension on my torsion bar? 2.) If I do remove the control arm is there a need to change out the bushings?

 

you do not have to remove the lower control arms or loosen the torsoin bars.

 

those balljoints are very easy to replace, it can be done in 20 minutes for both sides. At least I can if I hustle
