Upper Control Arm disaster
Previous owner had tack welded in the ball joint. I could not see that through the dirt and after much force with a 6ft long cheeter bar it snapped the welds. I did not want to use it cause surely the threads were trash hence the welds.
Assumed after seeing the rings still in place on the bushings it had not been messed with. I was wrong and at least the UBJ on the driver side had been replaced incorrectly. Maybe they learned after that side that they were screw in and did the right correctly.
