Doubt that those ball joints are really correct for your car. Or this is a classic example of of the parts industry weasel word, "fits." Sucks, but "fits."
unusual for ball joints to fail faster than rear bushings, the usual weak link. Take a good look at those. Those ball joints don't need to be tight to be just fine. But if they're really bad, and the rear bushings, too, it might be a case where replacing the entire lower control arm assembly make the most sense.
Whatever you do, buy good stuff.

Yup, I highly dot recommend Quick Steer ball joints after seeing the hole size and included M10 hardware.

Depends on how much metal is there. Personally I would order new ball joints like Moog or Mevotech supreme.

In hindsight , new control arms are the easiest.
