2g ball joint?

[Mike Brake]

Im wondering if the ball joint on the straight lower control arm is replaceable. It appeared that the control arm and ball joint were one piece last I looked at it but the car is hour an a way away so I can't check.

though it is pressed in you have to replace the control arm.

It's easier to replace the control arm. You don't "have" to.

on a 2G.... the lower ball joints have to be replaced as a unit with the whole control arm.  The upper ball joints can be removed from the upper control arm fairly eaily tho, and a new ball joint nstalled without replacing the whole upper arm/ball joint assembly as a unit.

Thanks for the quick response guys. Turns out the replacing the entire control arm isn't all that expensive anyways
