You have to buy the whole control arm. Top or bottom? Gilliam is our resident part # guy these days.

Default Only the hyrdulic joint can be pressed out. You have to buy whole new arms.
I recommend Febi-Bilstein from PureMS.com. High quality parts, low price, and you're supporting a business who keeps this site free.<ul><li><a href="http://www.purems.com">Call them and ask about Febi-Bilstein arms</a></li></ul>

Default Yes. You have to buy new arms if the ball joint fails. Or spend $$$$ on CPP arms.
Solid metal joints and they're fully rebuildable.
