I've been told yes but have been told no that you have to replace the whole control arm. So which is it yes or no? Thanks. Im hoping yes seeing how they sell replacement ones.

Yes. They are pressed in IIRC. -
Yes they are but they are a bitch to get off and on

Ok. . . Yeah was told that when you changed them that it'd distort the hole. So that's why i was checking for sure.Comment

I think you can rent a balljoint press and get them out.Comment

Az rents the ball joint press.
Use pb blaster to get the old ones out, and put grease to help the new ones slide in.

Yes, they are replaceable. Yes, the hole will be distorted. The replacements come slightly oversized.Comment

Yes they are replaceable without control arm replacement. It's easy compared to changing the bushings. That was fun.Comment
