You can buy the whole arm with ball joint and control arm bushings and replace it that way.
Or buy your ball joint from an auto parts place that will press it in for you.
IE not Autozone !!! call around the local parts houses. You may pay a bit more for the part, $11 is definitely on the low side. I don't know if advance will do this for you.
The shop i used charged about $6 -10 per side to do this some time ago.
Yes you use a press and spacers to press the old one out and press the new one in. So its two separate set up and press operations.
Good luck.....
