Thank you for the help.
I assume the Control Arm's bore for the ball joints are out of round from wear and removal. I plan to burn and press out the old BJs. Heat the control arm again for expansion before pressing the new BJs. I hope the heat cycles don't ruin em.
I have heard loose ball joints may wiggle out of the Control Arm after loaded. I hope mine install snug.
Also, the car came with a receipt indicating the timing chain was replaced in the last 100k. The chain is loud while the car is warming up. Does this indicate the tensioner cylinder needs to be replaced? Is the tensioner actuated by oil pressure?
