Noticed the right hand side ball joint boot had torn, likely source of the random clunk? so i searched my spare parts and found one in good usable condition. Last time i did this job i replaced the entire control arm, much easier however need to carefully mark the camber settings.
Removal is done with a chisel and heavy 2 pound hammer.

To remove on vehicle is just as easy when brake caliper and disk is removed. Also decided to use long bolts and non-lock nuts to avoid damaging the control arm threads.

A chisel and hammer is needed to guide it in evenly.
