Would it be easier to change the upper control arm or just the ball joint on a 07 Yukon ?
When considering repairs for a 2007 Yukon, would it be more efficient to replace just the ball joint, or should I also change the upper control arm? I'm trying to determine which option would be easier in terms of labor and cost, and if there are any specific factors related to the vehicle’s age or condition that might influence this decision.

Normally when you need to change a ball joint, you need a press tool, or at least a really blunt hammer to pound the old one out. In a lot of cases, the ball joint is either integral to the control arm or installed in such a way that will render the control arm junk if removed. If the cost is not that much greater (which is usually the case), change out the entire control arm as it is less time consuming and if that option is available.
Watch a youtube video showing how to do it both ways and make a decision.
