86' 951 ball joint replacement. Bolt in or replace the arms?
I have and 86' 951 and one of the ball joints has some play to it, Can I just get a new ball joint and bolt it in or am I looking at replacing the whole arm?

It's a bit more than "bolt in" procedure. You can get replacement innards (I'm actually working on some now). Mostly, it's the bushings inside that wear out and break with the actual ball part suffering little if no wear.
