If you look at the "Tension Strut" that you bought from me, you will note that they did not come with ball joints. The ball joint remained with the spindle/upright. These balljoints can be replaced.


Don, only you are stuck on the tension strut being part of this thread. It was determined early on that the part in question in this thread is the wishbone control arm.




True the tension strut does not have a ball joint as part of it's assembly but the control arm/wishbone does and I don't think it's removable.

Everybody else is only talking about the sideways facing rear of the axle control arm with the integrated ball joint.
