Default Upper Control Arms!! HELP PLEASE :)

Hello everyone, it has came to that point and time where I must replace my Upper Control arms. I was searching the internet and saw that someone is finally offering 93-97 GS300 Upper control arm bushings. I want to buy them immediately but first must know how do I remove the old bushings from the Upper control arm? Will these new bushings remove the ratteling problem?

If you replace the bushings, you'll still have the same old tired ball joints.

Not likely. My rattle is coming from the ball joint. The joints arent replaceable independantly. They are integral with the arm.
