ball joint for upper control arm poped up?
car 1992 dx civic coupe
just recently noticed that the ball joint is "out" there is a gap of 2mm off the upper control arm.
can this be pressed back in? or will it pop out again?
just buy an upper control arm to replace it?
thanks for any info/suggestions

just go to the junkyard and get another one. cheaper then getting a brand new one from honda. that's too dangerous to just hammer it back into place.
