UCA stripped at ball joint!

Ordered the expensive socket and finally got my UCA ball joint out and the UCA threads are completely flat! Anyone else ran into this? Guess I get to but some new UCA’s, son of a B! So tired of spending money on this car.

lol, same thing happened to me. That's when I said screw it and ordered new UCA's with ball joints and bushings already installed. Actually ended up cheaper too as they came with lower ball joints as well.
