If they look dried out, cracked etc. If you can move the arm side to side when the bolts are tight.

if you need some new one just replace them. you dont need to get a whole new upper control arm.

if its an OEM arm then yeah u have to replace the whole arm. if you buy aftermarket then the ball joint has a c clip on it and u can just replace the ball joint and not the whole arm.
