You do have to replace the control arm to replace the ball joint. But by using the kit you get all new bushings, bolts, everything. You could replace just the control arm (roughly $100), but you need a special Saab tool to get the bolt out that holds the stanchion arm to the control arm and it's between the control arm and the CV joint. That's how I found out about tearing the CV boot... And then I found out that if you take out the rear bolt holding the stanchion arm you don't have to take out the one that connects it to the control arm anyway. THAT was my $61 lesson, no charge to you :-)
