Default 93 rear ball joints

Hey guys,

I searched and haven't found any info on replacing rear ball joints. I know you can buy just the ball joint or the entire upper arm with the ball joint.
I have all the neccessary ball joint removal tools, has anyone done just the ball on there ride? Is there any reason to get the whole arm other than it's just easier?

I really don't want to spend the extra $$$ on complete arms if the ***** are relatively easy to do.

Thanks in advance!!

I would get them pressed in at a shop. I did ball joints myself once with a huge vise and required A LOT of cheater pipe and elbow grease.

I've got all the right tools and have done plenty but none like this. That whole arm seems flimsy and could bend easily no matter how they were done.
I guess since they seel ball joints for $20 a pop I will just try one side first and see how it goes.
