I hear you there . The new upper control arms also have the ball joints riveted .
I replaced the whole arm since I figured replacing the bushings, ball joints, rubber bumper plus cleaning and painting was going to be a long whole weekend project where swapping out the whole thing on both sides was about an hour.
Took just as long to get out the the tools ,clean up and put them back
