I've looked everywhere and I cannot find anything on installing or removing the rear upper control arms. Im pretty mechanically inclined but steps and tips on doing this job will be a huge help for me! Anything would be appreciated, Thanks!

I just got mine replaced. I watched him for the majority of the progress. From what I saw, he lowered the sub frame to get to the bolts on one side. The other side he unbolted without any issue. I know that doesn't give you much, but maybe it'll provide you with an idea of which way to go. GL

Thanks! I attempted last weekend but lets just say it was NOT a success, haha. So Im taking it to an independent shop this weekend and i was quoted between $150-180.

Remove RLCA and shock assembly for workspace.
Unbolt and free upper ball joint from knuckle (may need a few good hammer whacks on RUCA).
Unbolt the two bolts connecting RUCA to subframe.
Finally, it should pull straight out with minimal effort.

Re-install in reverse order, torque to spec, then go get an aligment. Easy peasy

Thanks Gents. Now, as far as inspecting the ball joints whether theyre good or bad, can I just lift the car as I would normally or do I have to preload the suspension by jacking it up from the lower control arm?
