Ball joint Insertion tools required?

Hi,
This may seem like a dumb question...
Do you need a press to reinsert lower balljoints into the lower control arms on a stock set up or is there another way?

Cheers

Yes you do (in my experience) but I was able to "borrow" them from a parts store. I don't know how much luck you'll have with that.

AutoZone will loan you the tool for free. You have to leave a deposit, but they return it once your return the part.
