I am interested in the UCA's , but I have reservations about the ball joints being left in when you went to the trouble of taking out the bushings? Have you ever had the ball joints out of these arms? Do you know the threads are o.k.? Any more information would help. -Thanks Dan

I remove the old worn out, shot, no good bushings, from the UCA's, as a courtesy to the buyer for my parts, so they don't have to do that, when they get them.
I have the factory Miller Special Tool bushing tool to do that job, and if they are really stubborn, i have a 12 ton hydraulic press to get them out.
I'm a pretty anal in having cleaned up, good used parts to sell, that's why i do it.
Now, as far as ball joint threads go, how the heck do i know what they look like.
The ball joint themselves are in good condition, per my inspection, and why would i take them out, if they are in good enough condition to be reused again, as is condition?
If you buy them, and want to change the ball joints, that's up to you when you get them.
Who sells used control arms with the ball joints removed from them anyway?
Very few vendors, sellers, perform that labor when selling used UCA's.
I might have done that labor, if i determined the ball joints were in terrible condition, but if i keep performing labor, i am going to charge more for UCA's, in selling them, to be compensated for my time.
