The ball joints on a gm vehicle are not a "do-it-yourselfer" type of job. some ball joints need to be removed by grinding the studs off and using an air impact hammer to drive the studs out.. other ball joints can be removed with wrenches. my recommendation to you, would be to take your vehichle to your local gm dealer. Have the service department inspect the vehichle,and give you an estimate on the needed repairs.
How do you change the lower ball joints on an 2004 envoy
You change the control arms, upper and lower. The ball joints are manufactured into the control arms.
The lower ball joints have to be pressed out. The upper ball joints are part of the control arm, so the complete upper assembly has to be replaced.

Change lower ball joints on a 96 gmC 4 by 4
You can not just change the ball joint , you have to replace the whole lower control arm with ball joint.
No you do not need a press. I recently did upper and lower ball joints on my 95 T Bird and it is all bolt on parts. you cant buy just the ball joint, you have to get the whole control arm with the sealed ball joints already in it.
it depends if you have a ball joint presser. i would say about an hour
