Im about to do an UBJ swap on my 3rd gen. Im not sure how similar our control arms are but in my case it is much easier and affordable to simply replace the ball joint. You will need to press it out but fortunately you can rent kits from most auto part stores.
Here is the write up I am using. Again, I dont know the differences between the control arms but I assume it would be a similar process.
3rd gen upper ball joints (UBJ) the easy way!!
