The car has airbags. He'd live if he wrecked it cus a ball joint lol. Personally I don't know how to do it. So I can't try to help. But it might have to be pressed on

5th gen nd both upper nd lower

lower needs to be pressed in for sure. i believe the upper does too, but most just buy a new upper arm. Its one hell of a job to do.. better off having a shop do it..

and flash myself and a few others on here are more than capable of performing this job.. i just dont have a press..

napa auto parts will press them in for like $20 a ball joint. you take them the control arms, with the old ball joint, buy a new one from them. and they will remove and press in a new one. its near impossible to press in yourself. although it isnt completely impossible. my brothers dad did it himself, i wont go into details how because its very unsafe to do it without a press.

just go to napa. or speedway auto parts.

to replace the lower ball joint you have to completely remove the hub assembly and take it in. the ball joint presses into the hub assembly...
