Stock control arms and stock front ball joints

Hey all,

I'm wanting to put my stock parts back on, but want to make sure they are okay/safe to do so.

For the control arms, my bushing is kinda crushed in, it just looks compressed in (no tears or leaking).

NOT THE ACTUAL PART


As I said that's not the actual part but that's pretty much what it looks like while removed from the car. (haven't tried popping the rubber back to the original shape). Will I have any issues putting these back on?

Now for the fronts
Here is an aftermarket ball joint:

On my stock ball joints the rubber part has just popped off, the rubber seems to be intact, no tears and anything, I'im thinking they'll be able to just pop it back on, but i want to make sure the car is safe and I won't be getting any noise or putting anyone at risk.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks all,

I'd say good but you have 2 options. 1. Put them on and maybe someday replace them, 2. Put on new just b/c you'll have it all apart anyway.
Btw what control arms do you have? I haven't heard mention of any aftermarket ones.
