get some omni power upper control arms....mmmmm.
It sucks how when upper ball joints go you have to replace the whole upper control arms. Oh well easier than pressin out a ball joint i guess.

Its not that hard, it can be done in the driveway with some standard tools.

Upper arm is the way to go. It costs about $80 for the ball joint, or $100 for the upper arm. So you're better off getting the whole arm rather than fighting getting the old one out and new one in to save $20
