Guys, i need help to order the correct part!
Last month, i went to www.rockauto.com to order the 2 upper front ball joint Moog part # K90336 in the section Suspension>ball joint
So i took an appointment with my mechanic to change the 2 upper ball joints...
He called me during the day to tell me that he could not change the ball joint because i need to buy the control arm with the ball joint pressed in.
Like in this picture from acuraoemparts.com:

So my question is, does Moog makes the upper control arm with the ball joint pressed in?
I want to buy moog because its better then oem...
Thanks!

You think your mechanic would be offended if you told him to watch an install video? http://spc-tv.com/install/pass-car/3...ll-joints.html
You could do it yourself if you can get loaner tools from a parts store.
I did mine. I didn't have the right tools so I used a gear puller to pop the ball joint off the spindle, removed the control arm bolts, #12 in your pic, removed the arm, supported the arm with 2 blocks of wood and put a big socket on the ball joint and beat on it with a BFH. Installation is the reversal of removal.

The upper ball joints are very easy even with the arm on the car.
The lowers,is a whole differn't story for me.
The rented tool's receiving cups would not sit flat so I could not use the rented tool for that.
I just took off the whole spindle and had the shop I always go to do them.
They did my lowers and installed my wheel bearings for 20 bucks.
felt like x-mas that day.
