Looking for some clarification when replacing the rear ball joints in a 2004 ML350 w/65k - can they be replaced without getting the entire lower arm assembly? I find them for sale at about $35 each in the online shop, but am told by 2 different shops that is not possible. Also, any experience with the Monroe replacement front shocks?

DIY section or elsewhere if I reacall, mind you not specifically on your model perhaps.
