[Miata] Balljoints

[Leo Perez]

Hello, I could use a little help with a '90 with about 250,000 miles. The lower balljoint is shot, so I disasemble and remove the lower ball joint, no problem. Since its apart I figure I'll also change the upper ball joint and the tierod ends. None of the local shops has the upper joint in stock, its a special order. Questions:
   
  1) How is the upper ball joint removed from the control arm? Do I have to remove the control arm to press it out?
  2) Since everything is apart, any other components I should consider replacing? shocks?
   
  Thanks for any feedback or point me to a information source. Leo Perez
