Ball Joints replacable?

Replaced the uppers today,took all of an hour for both. The right side lower is out of spec,but it's spot weld in place. Do ya just grind off the weld and go, or do ya change the entire arm? Tony

On my 95 the lower was kinda pressed in , so you should be able to grind the weld and press it out. I believe they do that from the factory to keep them from poping out until they are in good
