Any advice on replacing the ball joints? Upper and lower

I am going to need to replace my upper and lower ball joints. I was just hoping someone who has done this before could help me out. Is it an easy swap? Lessons learned? Thanks in advance.

done the upper a couple of times, got rid of the whiteline cause the only last a few track sessions, went back to oem. I bought a fly wheel puller kit and did them myself but still need a wheel alighnment, i have a spare set off lowers so wh2n they go I'll do them too, just treat them like any other car ball joints

Aren't they non-serviceable? Forged aluminium arm. Do you mean replacing the upper and lower control arms?

All joints are serviceable in the arms, no need to replace fully. Some have good luck with Whiteline RCA others do not. OEM is always an option.
