hi, is it possible to JUST change the ball joint of the lower arm of honda city 2001, some say to completely change the lower arm with bushes and ball joint as the ball joint is built in this model.

is it feasible to get the ball joint repaired?

and if to change the ball joint then only one can be changed or a pair has to be changed?

your advise is much appreciated.

yes, just the ball joint can be replaced.

no, it cannot be repaired.

yes, you can replace just one at a time.
