Which control arm? Front upper control arm has balljoint that doesnt come out. Inspect ball joint for play. Otherwise, inspect rubber bushings for rips and seperations.

As DTP said, the balljoints for stock uppers wont come out(very easy). The adjusters are removable though. I personally went with adjustable Sknk2s for ease in the future and they ended up costing the same as stockers.

I have some stock control arms too from before if you want them... they dont have adjusters though. If you have good ones you can swap those over but the balljoint is shot. The BJ IS replaceable but its about 80$ IIRC. But it is possible to order it seperate it and re-press it if you want to save a few and can do that...
