A-Arm ball joint

[Master_Blaster1]

So I have a problem, the ball joint on my bottom A-Arm is mushroomed and the threads are jacked. I was going to cut the threads off so there is just the steel shaft left. Then Tig Weld grade 8 threads on top of it. lol I know this is a bad idea, anybody ever done this? If so did it fail like I expect it to?

Just buy another a arm on eBay. You can get it for less than $20 shipped.

Be prepared for a very big tree to walk out in front of you when you are up to a high speed.

Not a good idea.
