Weld the upper ball joint in ?

[QUOiverwade2;1969916038]I noticed my ball joint was a bit loose when I pressed it in so I put four stitch welds around it and it has held up for 50k?? I am a tig welder and fabricator for a living and if this is done right there is nothing wrong with it. You can even grind out the old welds if you need to replace again. The only reason this could fail is if the welder did not know what he was doing. I welded on top fuel chassis for Murf Mckinney for years and you would be surprised how little weld it takes, done right that is. To keep a car together. No worries.

One question why did you press in your upper ball joints?[/QUOTE]

I had to use the press to get them back in? It's a 97 ram and they had what looks like a knurled surface, or splined a bit. I must have distorted the one I had to weld pressing it out because the rest went back in tight. It's just a wood hauler anyway? Or get a new control arm if that's your thing?
