SC, Lets get serious about this front end stuff and I'm not kidding. You need to take Stupie" to a shop that can tell you what you need before you hurt yourself, Track arm bushings,struts, ball joints etc etc. Then order what you need and have the job done all in one shot . I would bet that you need the "upper" caps on the struts also. I can not express enough to you how dangerous this can be if you don't have the tools and the "know how".
I have a spring compressor and I still stand aside when I use it. Even if you managed to get it apart without killing yourself. you would never be able to put it back together. I have seen the aftermath of such "folly" . A friend of mine now has a tongue about 1 inch shorter and had his jaw wired back together for a while. IF you think I'm trying to scare you, you are damn correct. Please have it done. I'm very very serious about this. This also ,If you replace just one ball joint and wait awhile before doing other stuff and the front end is still flopping around, your new ball joint more than likely be worn out again. You can do a lot of crazy things to Stupie like having a diorama of WW-2 in the back seat but it would be very embarrassing to have the front end fall off right in the middle of The Battle of The Budge .
