I would say that arm is ruined. The top of the ball joint socket will be too worn to keep the ball in, and if it isnt itll eat a ball joint upper bushing in no time.

Right. I figured we were going to need a replacement. Just wanted to hear from Travis, as he probably has more experience in this area than anyone I know.
Regarding the top parts: The little resin (plastic) bits, two rows above the red zerk-fitting covers are the top cups.

Oh yeah Scott... thats bad. No amount of cowbell is going to fix that one.
Shoot me over a PM, email, call, etc.. and I should be able to dig you up a rebuildable core for around $25 - $35. That looks like a drivers side 86 offset arm?
Also, you should be able to jack that around so the ball pin sits back in the pocket in order to roll the car in the garage if you need to.

Cool. We'll drop you a note in the next couple of days. We're off to California in a few hours. Will get back soon.

I like the title "idiot savant" for some reason but .... you can see from the picture that the arm is 1" shorter than the late ones. Can't you see it?
