FIX OR REPLACE??

[ShAkE N BaKe!!]

Im in the process of my front disc brake swap and was wondering, now that everything is off should I just replace my upper ball joint or replace the whole upper control arm or just rebuild them? The upper control arm frame is straight, but was just wondering if I would be better of replacing it now?
-Im also going to replace my lower control arm

Considering the arms are pretty cheap I would save time and replace the whole thing.

 

[ShAkE N BaKe!!]

is it true that new arms are thinner and have fitting issues?

are they worth rebuilding for a daily driver?

I'd never rebuild the old ones, new ones are the way to go.

I purchased new ones when I rebuild the front of my '65, fit great and was so simple compared to rebuilding the old ones. Just remember to keep track of you shims and where they were so you came put them beck in the correct location and keep your alignment close enough to get you to the alignment shop.
