2002 Olds Sil WB right rear ball joint

I have a 2002 Olds Siloutte WB AWD everything works great but ... The rear right ball joint popped out of the "lower A Arm" ? can I just replace the ball joint on the lower arm or do they come as a set ? Stupid that there was no grease nipples for this .. it is a moving part. How can I fix this cheap . Thanks and if anyone has a break down on how to take it apart Please add a link.
