OT- Help with Explorer ball joints

Anyone know if you can replace the lower ball joints in a 96 Explorer 2wd?

I think the upper is only replaceable with the whole upper arm.

Does the lower still press out and in?

Autozone lists it separate, but the help was not sure.

Got a wore out one in the driveway.

Thanks.

Thanks, I just happen to have a ball joint press.

My daughter came home last nite from school, 5 hours, and the right front tire was starting to cup badly, so I guess its time for ball joints. I had to change the thermostat, and rotated the tires. Back to Atlanta today. Guess I will plan on ball joints in a couple weeks.
