I will respectfully disagree. I replaced one, entire UCA, because of a failed bushing you describe. IIUC, you have to remove the arm to grid out any remaining rubber, and fit a new one in. The new arm comes with a new ball joint also.

The pic is of the one that I removed.
Firestone quoted me $435 to r'n'r it. I spent $50+ in parts, and learned a trick.
