I rebuilt my front control arm's with ES suspension bushings and new
moog? ball joints.  I "believe" that I installed everything correctly but
experienced excessive clunking on the drivers side control arm which I
couldn't resolve. Out of concern for my hide I bought and installed new
control arms which fixed the clunking sound.  2 new control arms aren't that
much more expensive then replacement ball joints and ES bushings, not to
mention the peace of mind that's comes from factory built and tested parts.

I did replace all the other bushings with ES and highly recommend it.  I
borrowed a ball joint press from autozone and the old bushings came out
without a problem
