Ball Joints 76 Dodge Dart
So my haynes manual says the lower ball joints get bolted in as part of the steering knuckle. simple enough.
Are the uppers threaded in or pushed in? If they're threaded, I might as well take them to a machine shop instead of buying a socket. Anyone know?

Guys sorry for the retarded questions....What is the proper procedure for replacing the lower ball joint? Do I have to relieve the tension on the torsion bar first?

No dumb questions. Yes, support at crossmember first and let suspension sag then back off bolt. Count the number of turns to get it back to same height when done. Much easier to turn bolt with weight off.
