You are correct, the suspension pivots on threads! its all pretty self explanatory to take apart except maybe the upper outer pivot pin. there is a 3/8 bolt you loosen and remove, then remove both of the large end caps from either side, and after those are out use an allen on one side of the pin to remove it. it has left hand threads if memory is right. this pin is an eccentric, and used for alignment.
Ordering the new parts might help with making sense of it too, you're looking at about $300 or so. Its also a good time to rebuild the centerlink bar and brakes while you're under there, maybe the shocks if you feel like spending some money. No one makes a ball joint or other suspension upgrade kit for these. The only real upgrade I've found is entirely replacing everything to Jaguar suspension.
