Is this a non-coupe or a coupe style Sebring?

Thanks for that info. The rear upper ball joints on this vehicle are pressed into the entire rear upper control arm assembly. To replace the upper ball joint, you would first have to remove the rear upper control arm. Once removed, the ball joint assembly would have to be pressed out of the control arm using an arbor press.
