It is widely known on here that it is very difficult to PC stock a-arms without ruining the ball joints. The heat will melt the plastic "cup" lining the inside of the ball joint....sounds like you just did the same. I think I heard of one member that actually succeeded, but at low heat in the oven or something like that.

I remember that also, but your best bet is to paint them unless you buy arms with removable joints.

I would trash them and get a set of aftermarket a-arms, perferably Roll Design
