I have a 1997 Plymoth Breeze, How do I replace the ball joint and control arm?

Question

The ball joint on the right side(bottom) has popped out and the thing that holds the ball has rotted, Do I have to replace everything or just the control arm and how?

Answer 1

there's two main bolts and the torsion bar bolt to remove then replace the whole arm with a new one they come with a new ball joint in them,its cheaper that way and a lot faster,if you want you can use a good used one from a salvage yard but you may not find a good one,id replace it with a new one to be safe about it,they don't cost that much,then have the front end re-aligned so it will be good and strait,good luck.
