Basically my balljoint/bush at either end of the e36 rear lower control arm has been busted as its worn out or broke when adjusting the now un-seized arm.

Is it easy to fit a replacement balljoint near the hub, or do you need a press?

What about the bushing near the diff. carrier?

My E36 had a knackered wheel bearing and because i drove several thousand miles with it rumbling the garage were unable to remove the bearing. They ended up sourcing a used hub from a scapyard. To fit just the wheel bearing a press is needed, not all garages have these. I got quotes of £90 upwards for 1 wheel bearing and fitting.
