| 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... | |
