I added new control arm bushings and ball joint
I was initially going to use the rivet looking ball joint bolts ,but they looked weak so i went to Fastenal and found some grade 8 button head bolts and used a hex nut underneath .
Added some JB weld,some sanding and paint and they sort of pass OK for rivets to most ..
Control arms with ball joints and bushings added and ready to install...

Then came the restoration of as much of the front end steering components as possible
Luckily most of it was usable so it was cleaned, paint markings were noted and parts then restored as best as possible ...
Here is everything clean and inspected before rebuilding.
