I am going to replace Ball joints and Control arm Bushings on my '87 GT at home if possible, I have a bench vise and sockets. I was wondering how anybody else has done this without a press. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You'll at least want a ball joint press (a loaner tool from the parts store) and it's nice to have an air gun.
 
The ball joint press will help you. Or go to an automotive store with a machine shop service. My store pressed in 4 bushings and 2 ball joints for 50 bucks. Dropped them off before work, picked them up at lunch, installed them after work....DONE. :) No headaches, no bull****.
