I am building a 1974 charger for my son and have all new ball joints. can you change the lowers with a ball joint press that you can rent from autozone or does rhe lower control arm have to come out? Thanks.

IIRC they unbolt like all other LBJs?

hello, been awhile but if i am thinking right,
you can use a press and do them on the car.

Thanks, I will give it a shot. I know 1974 went to press in lowers but wasnt sure if control arm had to go in a big press or not.

Take a good look at it before you press it out...Some of the 74 LCAs had screw in lower balljoints...I remember one member on here was after he ruined one...

Thanks, I already checked them. upper has the kinda square shape for the special socket, lower is perfectly round.
