Got a quick question. I'm replacing the lower balljoint on my driver side. One person tells me I can't replace it seperately and that I have to replace the whole arm . Is that true because my local autoparts sold me a balljoint all by itself.

 

The lower ball joint can be replaced separately from the lower control arm.

It is the upper ball joint that requires a new upper control arm.

 

Right.

 

whew, thought I was gonna have to do it the hard way. I already replaced the upper arm keepin my fingers crossed it was right. went by the book so we will see. thanks for the answer on the lower.
