lower ball joints
Do lower ball joints have to be pressed out and in, or is there another way without taking the lower arm off???

Re: lower ball joints
Yes they are pressed in. You can change them with the LCA on the vehicle with a ball joint press. These can be rented at autozone or you can pick one up for around $100

Re: lower ball joints
