My ball joint is bad now what?
 

My ball joint looks like it just went bad on my upper control arm on the passenger side. It's causing my wheel to sit off camber. What kind of project is this going to be? Should I drive it? What else will I need to replace? what tools do I needs?
also if I could get a exploded diagram of the front suspention that would be awesome.

If its not rubbing id drive it home if its not far but take it easy and get a whole arm easier and cheaper then doing the ball joint look at my ole shakey upgrades i got mine for $100

I changed the tire just now so I dont damage my new tire and the part that is bad is the upper control arm bushing

Alright I changed my ball joint today and it turns out you need a special ball joint socket thank god my coworker has one. The old ball joint damaged the upper control arm so I had to heat the arm up and bend it back into place. The bll joint threaded in just fine and got nice and tight. I also just threw a couple tac welds on just for good measure. problem solved for 15.99

If that arm was bent i wouldn't trust it. Heating and bending it weakened the metal.... and next time you do em your gona have to replace the arm.
