So, my haynes manual has nothing for a 2008 lower ball joint w/ torsion bar.
however i did as much research as i could and it seemed all i really needed was a balljoint press. although i coulda used a small sludge, i didnt want to accidentally mess up my control arm.
I rented a press kit from a local shop but it seemed to be the most basic one possible as it only had 3 different sized cups. One of the cups seemed to be big enough, but it was symmetrical whereas the surface i need to but up againt on the a arm is curved and actually seemed too tight to even get it in on the outside.
When using a press do i need the kit that comes with a cup with the knotch cut out?
