Balljoint Replacement without Control Arm?
Ford F-250, Light Duty, two wheel drive. Balljoints will likely be F-150 size. Is it possible to order the balljoint only, without the control arm?

Are you only doing ball joints to save money or is it to save time?
I just replaced ball joints and inner and outer tie rods sway bar bushings and upper control arms on my 2001 F-150 and it only cost $185
I'm sure if you get on ebay you can find the same kit that I bought and get it all done at once.
I dont see why you wouldn't be able to do just the ball joint, if you can beat it out of the control arm

Looking at this kit I guess you would have to replace just the ball joint and not the control arm, IDK what year your truck is but this kit is for 99-04

It's a 1997 and I'm doing the balljoints because the squeaking is getting pretty darn loud! (Why no grease nipples????). My overall goal is to get the truck certified so I can get it plated to use as a work truck. I'm just going to keep going with whatever needs to be done, unless it becomes an expensive farce, that is.
If I get the balljointds replaced, the E-brake fixed and the new box installed, hopefully that'll be all it needs to be road worthy.
Hey, I appreciate your response.

No zerk fittings is not a problem. For about 4 bucks at any auto parts store you can buy a needle that fits on the end of your grease gun. Simply slip the needle through the rubber of whatever joint you want to add grease to and pump. Be sure and slowly do it and don't put too much grease into the fitting.
