How come all those aftermarket bushing kits come with both sets of ball joints when they know darn well that you can't replace the lowers without replacing the control arms?
I read an article somewhere that showed a guy replacing the lower ball joints by cutting the stock joints that are held in by rivets and installling aftermarket ball joints that bolt in.
