That's very possible. There are 4 control arms per side on the front each with their own ball joint. Someone will have to inspect the car to find out which one. The biggest hurdle when changing them is the pinch bolt on the steering knuckle for the upper control arms. It will often seize and make a fairly easy job into a nightmare.

Also being aluminum suspension parts they are a bit pricey. I personally like FCP Euro for getting parts. ECS Tuning is great for pictures and part numbers and their parts prices aren't bad but they get you on shipping.

Thanks man! I don’t have a lift or the tools anymore , so was looking for someone who has done one before. But again thanks for the advise!
