If you ruin the threads on the lower a arm ball joint do you have to replace the whole thing?

By the looks of all the mods you have already, you might as well go and buy a set of extended a-arms and shocks.

you could try re-threading it though with a tap set, if it goes big enough

I just looked in my service manual and you can replace the ball joint. It looks like you have to remove the rubber cover and there is a clip and then it has to be pressed out.

Hope that helps
