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.

a pickle fork would have been nice. unless something new happend with Mitsu. your gonna need to replace the entire thing. Let me know what arms you need, I happen to have some laying around that are extras that I never needed.

Bump.
Let me know as soon as you can bro
If you do have both of these can you guys press in new bushings? I could send them to you and buy the ones I still need from ya.
