Cool, I'll just replace the ball joints. I figure I'll just rebuild the whole front end as I have to take the control arms off to replace the ball joint anyway. For the amount of money I spent, I bought a 12 ton shop press, and all the parts to rebuild the whole front end for about the same as just the 2 control arms with the ball joints. I'll weld them in just to be sure they stay.
