Easy ball joint question

[kenr74]

I'm almost afraid to even ask this but I can't seem to find what I need by searching.

First question is that I need to replace my ball joints and am not sure if I need the upper control arm or not. I have a 94 4X4 but I'm not sure if the uppers have been replaced before. So do I need the arm or just the new ball joint? How can I tell if it has been replaced already?

Second question is that I can see that the lower joints have grease fittings so I'm assuming they have been replaced already. Those should just press out and the new ones press in right?

Thanks for the help.

You have a TTB front suspension, that doesn't really use control arms like the '95 and later use.
Both upper and lower ball joints will press out of the steering knuckle and the new ones press in (depending on how tightly they've "seized" in there).

Ok, that's what I was thinking. Sounds like something I can handle. Thanks for the help.
