: : : When it comes to replacing the lower ball joint it better to just replace the whole thing. I recently installed a front rebuild from PST, it came with new upper balljoints, lower control arms with the ball joints installed , a sway bay linkage kit, control arm bushings, outer tie rods, and strut rod bushings. All of this is polygraphite. To install the upper ball joints on my upper control arm I first had to remove the old one's by drilling out the center of the rivets that hold them in and then hitting what's left with a cold chisel till the rivets popped out. The new balljoints attach with nuts and bolts. That and aligning the control arm shaft where the hardest part, if you are going to be messing with the the control arm bushings or the shaft let me know and I will send you detailed instructions on how to align it properly.

: : so i guess i will need to get some springclamps?
: : how much was the kit? and where can i get it?
