yup thats how it should be. The uppers are rivetted in from the factory and can sometime be a pain to get out from what I've heard. But the replacement ones will bolt in (just a way to tell if they've been replaced before.)

Take an air hammer with a good chisel end and place the chisel on the bottom of the rivets on the control arm. (Opposite side of the ball joint.) The head of the rivet should peal off. Then take the the air hammer chisel and place it between the ball joint and the control arm to get it started. Take a punch and finish driving the rivets out of the control arm.
