Advice on upper ball joint



Here's a pic of my (two piece) upper ball joint and control arm and a pic of what I think is the replacement.
Could this really be as easy as two nuts and an adjustment bolt?

It sure looks that way. Of course and alignment will most likely be needed.

YES! It was. Old is off and new one about $50 ordered from NAPA. The upper part of the control arm with the bushings seemed very good so this is an easy shortcut as opposed to replacing with the new one-piece version.
