Control Arm bushings shot - Lower Ball Joints Shot.
Thinking about getting new control arms with the lower ball joints already in vs getting Energy Suspension bushings and pressing out the Lower ball Joints to replace.

Anyone reccomend one way over the other?

Seems like the new arms will make it easier and be a bit more $ depending on time to replace lower ball joints and cost of shop time on a press to do the bussings and joints on my own. Also, would be out of service longer to do them seperately.

IS ES that much better?

It looks like you have ES bushings already by looking at your sig. I wouldn't step down to rubber if I was you. Buy an arm with the joint in it and do the ES bushings your self.

I was going to buy a set of those chepo control arms off ebay that are fully assembled with ball joints pressed in but I have read alot of good things about the es kit and you can press them in using a shop vice , I bought a set and I'm just waiting for them to come :)
