Please help. Ball joint issues.

I'm in desperate need of some help.

Long story short beer + suspension work + big hammer = bad.

I screwed up 4 ball joints and boots on the rear trailing arm and rear assist arm.

I can't find a solid answer although I have found some useful info.

Can these be replaced without ordering new arms? If so does anyone know a company that can do this for me along with pressing in new bushings? I'd be willing to pay a little extra for quick turn around on this.

If these can't be replace (i'm screwed) does anyone have any of these with perfect ball joints they would want to sell? I don't care about the condition of the bushings in the other end... that's why I took these off to start with.

PS: I did find a thread that was pretty old that said the rear trailing arm would have to be totally replaced... not sure if this would still apply... hopefully not.

I was afraid of that. I would need both assist arms and trailing arms. Check the first pic just to be sure I'm telling you the right things lol
