:think: probably...but youd be best with a press - if you dont have that then use a vice and some sockets to put the new one in - the metal is quite thin and can be corroded a bit so you need to make sure the new ball joint is a good tight fit and that the circlip is put on properly ;)

you can replacement upper arms on ebay - think prices have dropped a bit and you might be able to get one for about £50
Ive never tried them so cant say what quality is like

hopefully I can get it done without damaging wishbone as I don't have access to a press
