Glad you got it fixed!! The ball joints can be a PITA to get off. Even with a pneumatic chisel and ball joint separator attachment, they don't always pop right off like they should.
I found using a baby sledge to smack the side of the control arms helped shock the ball joints loose from the vibration. That, and spreading the pinch bolt far enough apart and soaking it with PB blaster.
