I am replacing all my suspension components, lowering the car, etc, but I am having a hard time with the front lower ball joints. I rented a ball joint press from autozone, but it seems like its too big for the car. I was wondering what the best press kit is for our cars?
I tried searching this up, but people seemed to skimp out on the details on what they used.

I just put the control arm on a vice with the jaws open and then take a block of wood and big hammer to drive the ball joint home. The last car I did they were a pretty loose fit so I tack welded them.

Thank you... that kit worked great. But now Im finding out that the front lower control arm poly bushings I bought are too long 😡 I swear jobs never go smoothly with this car
