Hello,
Today I removed the struts, ball joints and tie rod ends in
order to install new ones tomorrow.
In what order should I installs the three replacement parts?

I was just reading some other posts about the ball joint
rod spinning when tightening up the bolt to get the ball joint
onto the plate.
Some advised to use pressure, either a vice or large pliers to
hold the ball joint tight on the plate so that the stud sets and
does not spin. After I get the bolt tightly on, will the ball joint
arm have much play so that the holes line up onto the control arm?

All advice is appreciated,
Joseph Segura in NM and sometimes AZ.
