special tools for control arm bushing install
what special tools do you need to put in new control arm bushings?
edit:also, should i replace my ball joints or anything like that in there while i have it apart? how much do ball joints cost? do the ball joints come in the kit for the control arm bushings? i'm probably getting the prothane bushings.

You'll also need a hammer. I just replaced my front suspension. Separting the steering knuckle from the a-arm was a pain....had to hammer the prickle fork like no tomorrow. You can get ball joints from AutoZone for $16 with Lifetime warranty. Woundn't hurt to change your end-links while you got everything off. Easy to replace and inexpensive. You can rent all those tools ede mentioned at autozone. Ball-joint press tool being the most expensive ~$99 But of course you get all your money back when you return them.
