Jana, you need to repost your thread on its own, and not piggy back on E30_320i

you either need to press or burn the buggers out, i only know this cause mine were changed last weekend

can you buy a ball joint on its own?i think it would be easier to replace the whole arm and they only cost about Ԛ£35 ish quid from ECP.ive never replaced just the balljoint.

most people just replace the full arm as fuzzy said,i have done this also.You can get the ball joint on its own but it needs to be pressed out.Also i believe, on the alloy arms they cant be replaced at all.

New joints are around Ԛ£18-20, new arm with joints is Ԛ£35-40 - although you will need to factor in a new bush as well with a new arm.

if one side goes replace the other side as well this will save you paying for the tracking twice when the other side goes in a few weeks/months time
