The ball joint is on the tie rod link in the rear suspension -- ball joint on one end, eccentric bolt on the other, used to set the rear toe.

The spring link has a bushing on both ends, and the outer one is missing the rubber by now, allowing the bottom of th wheel to kick out. Will also change the toe, but I'm not sure which way.

You will have to remove the spring to get the link off, will look that up when I get a chance.

Bushing is in the catalog at FastLane, costs about $31. Look under control arm bushings.
