Has anyone had experience pressing in new lower control arm ball joints?
I see there are replacement ball joints available for the auto parts stores. Most of what I read in the forums say to replace the whole control arms, but I have heard/read from a few different sources that it is possible to press in new ones. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

I've never done it myself, but I've heard you can either use a press to put in new ones or leave them in the freezer overnight and then hammer/press them in while their still really cold.
