I've recently done this job, and I replaced the ball joints and then later the bushings.
My advice: replace entire lower control arm. FAR less work, only a spring compressor and a saw-z-all are required. Buy all new eccentric bolts. Removing and replacing the ball joints requires a press and a torch. Installing the new ball joints requires a large clamp to press them in. You may find rust inside the control arm under the bushings. If you have the time and inclination, it is a straight forward job, but lots of labor.
