    What's involved with pressing new ball joints

    My control arms are on their way along with new ball joints, How big of a job is this and what is involved, I am in no way new at doing big jobs so please take that into consideration.

    If you are getting new control arms, they come with the ball joints installed.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      I got two pairs of used ones in good condition for 5 bucks plus shipping, I checked em out and they're straight so i bought some new ball joints.

        You'll have to use a press to change the ball joints.

          ^^ what he said. Otherwise, new control arms have the ball joints installed already
