ball joint requires major surgery as the torsion tubes are spaced differently to a king pin. You need to weld a BJ frame head on your KP pan.

Just stick with the KP. If the play is in the link pins just grease and adjust them. If it is in the king pins, you need to get them rebushed or buy 2nd hand units
