I'm a bit confused at how to fix this. Is this a bolt on item or does it need to be pressed on/off? If pressed I'll have my mechanic do it. If not I'd like to give it a go but am not sure how to do so.

Any help is appreciated.

Is the process the same for a 97 that it is for this 95? If it's even close to that easy I can do that no problem.

yes 94-97 are the same.

it is recommended you replace the full upper control arm when you need to replace the balljoint.

if you choose to put a new ball joint, get it tack welded on the top to keep it secure.
