Do you need a press to chanage the ball joints on this truck? I called a supply house and was told the upper ball joint was $115.00 and included the entire upper control arm. I have looked elsewhere on line and find ball jonits sold individually, should I buy separately?

you can buy separate from the control arm but will require special service tool (ball joint remover) to replace. no press is necessary for upper ball joint. lower ball joint however does require press.
